I conduct practice-based research on my 15-year collaboration with Sámi artist Joar Nango. My project will report on our ongoing project Vuoššangoahti / Cooking Turfhut in Finngamsletta, Tromsø—a planned public space for resource treatment practices (processing meat, skin, bones) integral to Sámi lifeways. Rather than a nostalgic return to tradition, the project positions these practices as a progressive alternative, challenging the dominance of the European modernist paradigm as the sole model for development.
Through this research, I aim to contribute to enabling spaces of Sámi self-determination in urban contexts—refusing the city as non-Indigenous territory and refusing recognition through Sámi decoration. This is not a project of recognition, but of resurgence: grounded in everyday practices, more-than-human relations, and living with land beyond property.
