"On Living in extractive Areas"

Katarina Pirak Sikku will introduce her artwork “I am the last one who saw the river alive”, which illustrates places lost as a result of the production of hydropower.
Miriam Vikman will talk about her project of creating a footpath between two clear-cut wooded areas as a way of taking back the remaining woods, in which only hoofs,paws and feet have trodden so far.
Both works deal with loss, material connections, indigeneity and the colonisation of Sweden's North, which we will discuss in the workshop.
