“I believe it is important to ask critical questions about what really happens to Sámi art when interest is so high and it reaches an international audience.”
Hakapik – an art critique web magazine – has published an interview with artist Lada Suomenrinne. In the interview Suomenrinne recounts their experiences working internationally as an artist, participating in Barents Spektakel 2025, and being a Sámi artist.
Hakapik is an art critique web magazine that aims to explore and analyse art production in the North with a focus on northern Norway and Tromsø. Hakapik publishes reviews, interviews, comments, essays, and photo series.
