The Land Back movement is a grassroots movement that aims to return sovereignty over land to Indigenous communities and redress the systemic oppression of Indigenous peoples. They do so by reclaiming land and restoring their cultural practices and recognising their unique relationship with the land. This movement is crucial for protecting Indigenous rights and preserving biodiversity. 

Unfortunately, Indigenous communities have to face additional challenges as the increasing demand for green energy often results in the destruction of perfectly thriving ecosystems.

In Norway, a notable protest is currently underway as climate and Indigenous activists fight against a windmill farm constructed on unceded and sacred Indigenous land, with striking parallels to the 1980s Alta conflict over a hydroelectric power plant in the same area. A young Sami actor leads the protest as a spokesperson, and her recent role in a film depicting the earlier protests raises questions about the intersection of fiction, reality and of past and present policies. How can this situation give us a deeper understanding of the paradox of green energy production? Can art negotiate a new understanding of history, while it is repeating itself in front of our eyes?

Join us as we explore the transformative potential the arts have in instigating cultural change. How can artists and the arts play a key role in influencing the narrative on climate change and inspire positive change - both within the arts sector and in society at large? 

Through the examples of three artistic practices, we will investigate how artistic forms can be used to affect change and how the arts can play a crucial role in both small and significant transformations towards building a culture that reevaluates our fundamental archetypes and takes into account the more-than-human dimension.

This immersive workshop will delve into the differences between Western and Indigenous ontologies from a Sámi perspective. By exploring the meanings and ways of being, doing and knowing that are rooted in cosmological perspectives, we can gain a better understanding of the Sámi's celebration of collectivity. As well as this, we will also explore their awareness on the impact of every choice made on the collective as opposed to the Western view - which often idealises individualism.

Together, we will examine how these differing ontological perspectives relate to issues of sustainability and climate justice. Join us for an insightful session carried out ‘By the Collective’.

Note

‘By the Collective’ is an ongoing discursive performance developed by Hásstuheaddji/By The Collective.
