The Saami Council Has Named a New Cultural Committee

The new chair is Lada Suomenrinne.

The Saami Council has named a new cultural committee for 2025–2026. The new cultural committee has started at the beginning of 2025. The new chair is Lada Suomenrinne from Njuorggán, representing the Sámi Film Association on the committee. The other members of the cultural committee in the new term are Magnus Anttaris Tuolja (Sámi Duodji – Sameslöjdstiftelsen), Arne Nerås Joma (Duodjeinstituhtta) ja Petra Laiti (Saami Council). The deputy members are Áile Aikio (Sámi Duodji rs), Sara Helén Persson (Álggugåhtie), Heaika Hætta (Sámi Composers) ja Vidar Andersen (Saami Council).

 The new chairperson is delighted with his new position: - Since the beginning of my artistic career, I have been interested in the Sámi art world and its differences from the Western art world. I hope that as chair, I will be able to see new possible forms of our art world and transformations in which Sámi art creates dimensions. In addition, I believe that the current situations in the world and various apocalypses will affect Sámi art in the same way as the climate change that has been enveloping the Arctic region for a long time, says Suomenrinne.
