As I walked through the night, i knew somthing was waiting for me

The photograph «As I walked through the night, I knew something was waiting for me» carries with it the intangible cultural heritage from Sámi culture. And in the work processes, the focus was placed on several indigenous perspectives, simultaneously shedding light on our fragile present and future. Through the artwork, themes such as holistic nature management, about creating an understanding of nature's mechanisms, functions, vulnerabilities and that we humans are an inseparable part of nature, are highlighted. And how people's interaction with nature affects and shapes the legacy of future generations. The intangible cultural heritage has been a supporting part of Sámi culture, a culture that has been developed and refined through millennia of interaction between people's living conditions and the forces of nature. A legacy that was passed on through storytelling: how to read nature and its powers to survive in a harsh climate, but also through the mystery of nature, and how it could provide healing.
