Britta Marakatt-Labba
Sylkvasse sting / Moving the Needle
The National Museum, Oslo, Norway
March 15 – August 25, 2024
For half a century, Britta Marakatt-Labba (b. 1951 in Idivuoma, Sápmi) has been one of Sápmi’s most prominent artists. This is the largest exhibition of her art to date and presents textiles, prints, installations, and sculptures from her extensive production.
Here you can view early sketches and drawings that have never been shown before, and iconic works such as Garjját / The Crows (1981), and Girddi noaiddit / Flying Shamans (1986). At the centre of the exhibition is the monumental work Historjá, a 24-metre-long embroidery depicting scenes from Sami history, mythology, and everyday life.
