The opening of the Birgejupmi through Art & Duodji exhibition at Guovdageainnu Gilišillju brought together artists, audiences, and communities in a vibrant celebration of Indigenous art and collaboration across Sápmi, Canada, and Kalaallit Nunaat.
The exhibition features works by Kim Kleist, Hilde Skancke Pedersen, Ivínguak Stork Høegh, Máret Ánne Sara, Ululinannguaq Olsen, Anitta Katriina Suikkari, and others, creating a powerful meeting space for visual art, duodji, storytelling, and performance.
The opening programme combined artistic expressions across forms and traditions, with music by Ivaana from Kalaallit Nunaat, joik by Nils-Ove Kuorak, and an excerpt from Čitna Báffa by Anitta Katriina Suikkari. Together, the performances and artworks created an atmosphere of celebration, presence, and connection.
Running from 03.04–30.08.2026, the exhibition is part of the broader Birgejupmi through Art & Duodji journey and highlights the strength of Indigenous artistic practices and cultural exchange across communities and generations.
We warmly invite everyone to visit the group exhibition at Guovdageainnu Gilišillju and experience this unique gathering of Indigenous art, duodji, music, and storytelling from across Sápmi, Kalaallit Nunaat, and Canada.
