- **Event Name**: Exploring Sámi culture, history, and identity
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 04 Feb, 2026 at 05:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us for an event exploring Sámi culture, history, and identity through both material heritage and embodied movement. Two talks take the audience from Sámi artefacts in Florence to new perspectives on identity formation in the premodern North. 

Two short presentations will be given:

1: "From Sápmi to Florence: Retracing the Journeys and stories of Sámi Artefacts", by Erika De Vivo

The presentation focuses on some of the artefacts now in Florence, highlighting the dual role of museums as both custodians of cultural heritage and participants in colonial histories.

Erika De Vivo is an early-career researcher specializing in Sámi studies, cultural anthropology, and critical museology. 

2: "Performing Movement, Forming Identity: A Dance Studies Approach to Premodern Sámi Culture", by Lynneth Miller Renberg

Using methods from dance and kinesic studies, Lynneth Miller Renberg rereads the well-known body of texts recording European encounters and perceptions of the Sámi in the premodern era. By tracing moving bodies through the archives and the contexts in which their motion is framed, we can “hear” silenced Sámi figures, as well as better understand what the voices of Scandinavian authors might have conveyed to their audiences. 

Lynneth Miller Renberg is Associate Professor of History (Anderson University) and guest researcher at UiT The Arctic University of Norway as Fulbright U.S. Scholar (2025-2026).
