Hosted by Jillat – Sami Dance Center and NANU Sámi Arts International. Location Tonsalen - Folkets Hus Umeå. Thursday the 18th of June, 1.00 - 2.00PM

The Arctic is often described from the outside: as wilderness, resource, climate symbol, exotic backdrop or future frontier. But who has the right, knowledge and responsibility to tell Arctic stories? This panel addresses the risks of appropriation when northern and Indigenous cultures, aesthetics and political struggles are used without deep understanding, consent or accountability.

Hosted by Jillat – Sami Dance Center and NANU Sámi Arts International, the conversation opens a necessary discussion about representation, authorship and power in the arts. How do we distinguish between exchange, inspiration and extraction? What responsibilities do artists, institutions, funders and festivals carry when presenting work connected to Arctic and Indigenous contexts?

This panel does not offer simple rules. Instead, it invites a more careful and honest conversation about how stories travel, who benefits from them, and what it means to work with respect in the Arctic today.

Humor, seriousness and Sami truths!
The performance "Hïegke lin" is a humorous but profound performing arts experience by and with Marika Renhuvud that examines what Sami dance can be in relation to joik. By joiking and dancing people, memories and peculiarities are brought to life, but we also get to take part in beliefs and prejudices about Sami. The story is based on the many different images that people have of Sami - from exotic misunderstandings to deep, inner feelings of identity and belonging.

Through the performance "Hïegke lin" Marika Renhuvud wants to show that Sami culture is stronger than ever, Hïegke libie - there is still life in us!

Panel Talk - Indigenous Touring Network – Sápmi / Caribbean, Jun 17, 2026, 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM

Hosted by Invisible People Contemporary Dance and Anisotropie. Location Ögonblicksteatern Umeå.

How can Indigenous artists tour across oceans, borders and colonial geographies without being forced into systems that were not built for them? This panel explores the emerging idea of an Indigenous Touring Network between Sápmi and the Caribbean, connecting artists, presenters, communities and cultural organisations through shared values rather than standard market logic.

Hosted by Invisible People Contemporary Dance and Anisotropie, the conversation looks at touring as more than mobility. It is about relationships, reciprocity, language, land, climate, care and self-determination. What kinds of networks are needed when distance is not only geographical, but also historical and political? How can Indigenous-led structures create new routes for performance, knowledge exchange and long-term collaboration?

The panel invites audiences to think beyond conventional touring models and imagine a performing arts infrastructure where Indigenous perspectives define the terms of movement, presentation and encounter.

Hosted by Aira Dance Company AB, Davvi Senter før scenekunst.

What does it take for dance to grow, travel and remain rooted in the North? This panel looks at the practical, artistic and political infrastructure needed for sustainable dance ecosystems in rural and Arctic regions. Far from the large institutions and urban centres, artists, producers and communities are building new models for creation, touring, residencies, technical sharing, local engagement and international exchange.

Hosted by Aira Dance Company AB and Davvi – Senter for Scenekunst, the conversation brings together perspectives from the northern performing arts field to discuss what already exists, what is missing, and what needs to be strengthened. How can rural places become centres rather than peripheries? How can infrastructure support artistic freedom, fair working conditions and long-term relationships?

This is a conversation about dance, but also about access, responsibility and the future of cultural life in the North.

An immersive movement and sound performance by composer Ánndaris Rimpi and dance artist Tanja Andersson.

duoggu dággu is a Sámi expression describing a direction of movement, meaning “here and there.” Rooted in Sámi practice and philosophy, the work listens, senses, and shifts where sound and dance displace, spiral, and activate one another. Speakers surround the space, filling it with pendulum swings, rotating lassos, the percolating rhythm of coffee pots and time moving in circles. Choreography, movements and aesthetics stems from reindeer herding circular paths.

For Arctic Art Summit, Tanja will perform the solo version of the piece with Ánndaris compositions and field recordings.

The work premiered at Norberg Festival summer 2025 and performed at Fylkingen, Stockholm and Nationella Minioriteters Kulturhus in Göteborg during fall 2025.

Residency: Kulturporten, Porjus & Scen46, Göteborg
