Perspektivet Museum celebrated S\u00e1mi Week 2008 by opening a fresh, youthful and innovative art exhibition, which offered selected works of art from RiddoDuottarMuseat, De Samiske Samlinger i Karasjok. A total of 20 pieces of art were presented, all of high quality, with a diversity of expressions and techniques. Several works have not been on displayed before in Norway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201dI produce pictures; I also happen to be S\u00e1mi. What I do isn\u2019t necessary S\u00e1mi art; rather, it is art produced by a S\u00e1mi. Art cannot be determined by your origins or your ethnic identity. But that doesn\u2019t mean that one\u2019s roots and environment don\u2019t show up in one\u2019s work,\u201d says Merja Aletta Ranttila, who was represented at the exhibition with graphic items. Ranttila comes from Karigasniemi in Finland.<\/p>\n\n\n
