Koll´ješkuätt exhibition consists of sounds and animation which are spread around the yard of Skolt Saami Museum Ä’vv. The exhibition title means “starting to be heard” and refers to sounds of Skolt Saami language and culture becoming audible in Neiden. Our wish is to offer a possibility for being with Skolt Saami language and culture through gentle listening.

The outdoors exhibition consists of Koll´ješkuätt sound art work with seven speakers, made by the working group, and Jåttjed animation by Erja Taskinen which will be seen inside a lavvu.

Performers at the opening:
Music: Aimo Aikio, Tero Harju
Leu´dd: Hanna-Maaria Kiprianoff

The museum offers coffee, tea and something to eat.
The event is free of charge.

The exhibition is open 17.6.-26.8.2023.

The exhibition is supported by the Finnish Cultural Foundation’s Lapland Foundation and Sámi Parliament.

We have the pleasure to exhibit some of the Sámi artist John Andreas Savio´s artwork. The exhibition, on loan from The Savio Museum, is on display from May until September 2023. The Museum administers the largest collection of Savio´s art (about 900 works) and they can only display 40 of these in their present exhibition premises at the Borderland Museum.
