Geahčan botniid duohkái – Beneath the lake bed
Siida - Sámi Museum and Nature Centre, Inari
- 22.5.2025–30.10.2025
Geahčan botniid duohkái – Beneath the lake bed – an exhibition where Sámi handicrafts, duodji, are intertwined with art and poetry.
Sámi artists Jouni S. Laiti and Kirsi Máret Paltto combine traditional materials – cardboard, reindeer horn and wool – with industrial materials to create works that bring together past and present.
The themes of the exhibition come from the environment, love and spirituality. The poems function as part of the works, deepening their message.
Jouni S. Laiti is a Sámi artist and duodji teacher from Mierasjärvi, currently living in Inari. Kirsi Máret Paltto is a Sámi artist and writer. She is originally from Fierranjoki, in the Tenojoki valley, but has lived for many years in Karasjoki and abroad.
The exhibition is on display in Siida from 22.5.2025 to 30.10.2025 and is produced by the Sámi Museum Siida.
The exhibition is supported by the The Finnish Heritage Agency.
