✍️ In the Sámi poem, Jearrat Biekkas/To Ask the Wind, Nils Aslak Valkeapää explains that to ask the wind is an act of curious listening. Inspired by Valkeapää, Jearrat Biekkas/To Ask the Wind encourages reflections that look into landscapes of sound, asking how art may facilitate both the labour and the politics of listening.

Founded on a Sámi understanding, listening is understood as receiving information from multiple mediations, including the encounters between people, meanings, and actions.

The event will close with a Sámi ceremony of cleansing performed by Arnhild Haagensen. Participation is optional and those not wanting to remain should leave after the conversation concludes.
