With Prof. Dr. Frederike Felcht (Scandinavian Studies, Goethe University Frankfurt) and Marlène Harles

On Wednesday, April 29th at 6 pm, Marlène Harles and Frederike Felcht invite you to reflect on the current solo exhibition by the artist Britta Marakatt-Labba (born in 1951 in Sápmi) from a feminist perspective. The exhibition features delicate motifs that are meticulously embroidered onto the background fabric. Through these motifs, the artist transposes her surroundings, experiences, and observations into pictorial form. Over 60 works tell stories of Sámi cosmology, lifeworlds, and in particular, their living environment, which is increasingly threatened by extractivism and ecological destruction. Taking the exhibition as our starting point, we will use the tour to encourage a collective reflection on cycles, social decision-making processes, natural diversity and reduction.

We invite you to experience the artworks and explore materials together.
