Join us to mark the closing weeks of Goavve-Geabbil, Máret Ánne Sara's monumental Hyundai Commission for Tate Modern. Joined by curator Helen O'Malley, this conversation explores the influence of Sámi science and ancestral knowledge on Sara's work.
Sámi science encompasses practices and knowledge systems, developed through direct experience and interaction with the land, waters, and ecosystems in Sápmi.
Goavve-Geabbil will be open for ticket holders in the Turbine Hall from 18.30, the conversation will then begin in the Starr Cinema at 19.00.
About Máret Ánne Sara
Máret Ánne Sara is a Northern Sámi artist and author known for her work exploring global ecological issues through the lens of her lived experience as member of a reindeer herding family in Sápmi, the territory of the Indigenous Sámi people.
Through her multidisciplinary practice, Máret Ánne Sara highlights the impact of Nordic colonialism on Sámi ways of life, exploring the importance of preserving Sámi ancestral knowledge and values to protect the environment for future generations. Often using materials and methodologies derived from reindeer herding, Sara creates powerful sculptures and installations which uphold the reciprocal relationship between animals, lands, waters, and humans.
