Sami Art

Sami Art refers to the creative expressions of the Sami people, indigenous to the northern regions of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. It encompasses traditional crafts like duodji (handcrafting), jewelry, textiles, and uniquely decorated clothing, often featuring symbolic patterns and natural materials. Sami art also includes contemporary works in visual arts, music, and performance, reflecting their rich cultural heritage, connection to nature, and stories. It serves as a vital means of cultural identity, preserving traditions while allowing modern expression and dialogue.
