Britta Marakatt-Labba is one of the foremost textile artists in Sápmi and the Nordic region. Her embroideries depict scenes narrating the daily lives and forced displacement of indigenous inhabitants of Sápmi – the Sámi people. Her creative process involves translating images into the fabric of her embroidery. These images work doubly to resurrect memories, narratives and practices that are in danger of disappearing and to critique aspects of contemporary life. Always in tune with her Sámi heritage, notions of care, nature, dreams and mythologies are central to her work. Appearing at first quite delicate and playful, her embroideries actually reveal a harsher and more violent reality. Much of her work addresses resource extraction, climate change, industrialisation and the consequent expulsion of indigenous peoples from their land. Her work consistently highlights how indigenous people’s desire to live in harmony with nature and other non-human animals is disrupted by a culture that views the environment as a resource to be exploited for profit.
