Katarina Skår Lisas masterprosjekt i koreografi er et kunstnerisk samarbeid som utforsker et fellesskapende samisk kunstuttrykk gjennom flere sjangrer.

Prosjektet kan sees på som en utvidet koreografisk undersøkelse av fysiske grenser, historier, opplevelser og åndelighet av og i et landskap i Várjjat / Varanger. Forholdet mellom landskap, samisk kultur og menneske har stått sentralt i arbeidet. I Buorresarkú/Bergeby har Lisa gjennom feltarbeid søkt tilbake til sine forfedres røtter og funnet en landingsplass for sin dansekunst i tett samarbeid med tre andre kunstnere, alle med samiske røtter; Ramona Salo Myrseth, Johan Sara Jr. og Torgrim Hermansen Halvari. Sammen skaper de et univers som inkluderer både tradisjon og nye, personlige uttrykk sett i lys av sjøsamisk kultur spesielt.

Bakgrunn:

I Varanger har det levd mennesker i over 10 000 år. Her har forfedre vokst opp med den samiske filosofien om å være og leve med den naturlige verden, mens de beveget seg i landskapet på en kunnskapsrik måte. Allikevel resulterte fornorskningen av den samiske og kvenske befolkningen i Varangerområdet i et tap av kulturarven, delvis eller helt. Lisa undersøker, gjennom feltarbeid, hva dette betyr for henne i dag. Steinene og vannet blir navigasjons hjelpere til forståelsen av den immaterielle kulturarven, og det gis rom for ‘å føle’ og ‘å sanse’ i et landskap hvor mennesker og levende vesener fortsatt beveger seg- og lever i dag. I fysisk, åndelig og praktisk forstand søker Lisa seg tilbake til fortiden ved å lete etter de utallige historiene, som ligger innenfor, mellom og- eller under steinene, og gjennom kunstformidling dele opplevelsen av dem i møte med folk i Várjjat, og siden videre utove.

Dette er et interdisiplinært pilot- og masterprosjekt initiert av Katarina Skår Lisa, i samarbeid med Ramona Salo Myrseth, Johan Sara Jr. og Torgrim Hermansen Halvari.

Prosjektet er støttet av Kunsthøyskolen i Oslo med veilederne Per Roar, Bojana Cvejic, Anne Grete Eriksen, den eksterne veilederen Elle Sofe Sara og teknisk team. Gjesteatelieret i Vadsø, Várjjat Sámi Musea, Nesseby kommune, Finnmark fylkeskommune, Lisa's familie, medstudenter og lokalkjente i Várjjat er også en stor støtte i prosjektet!

Om:

Ramona Salo Myrseth
Born and raised in a multicultural municipality by the border of Finland in the Northern hemisphere, my childhood was very much influenced by winter, spectacular landscapes and natural phenomenon like the northern lights and the midnight sun. This has brought life to and inspired mystical stories about animals, nature and supernatural beings that have been shared between generations. This upbringing is manifested in my work and esthetics.
My design practice is heavily influenced by my upbringing in Northern-Norway, where these forms of expressions are woven into a modern esthetic, thematically and materialistically. As a designer I explore materials, textures, contrasts, cultural and personal memories, and try to navigate between different perspectives with needle and thread as my traveling tools.

Johan Sara Jr. is an innovative performer in one of Europe’s oldest song traditions, Sami music from the Arctic, the joik. His unique combination of joik and contemporary elements provides a hypnotic and meditative sound, which has been praised both at home and abroad. His music has confirmed his position as a vital, fresh and genre free innovator.Johan Sara Jr. was born in Alta and grew up with reindeer herders on the vast snow-covered tundra in the arctic north. He is now settled in the Sami town of Maze. He was born into a culture where nature and the natural was everywhere, a culture where the joik had a central position and had a mother who had a strong interest in maintaining this tradition. To Johan Sara joik is therefore so much more than an artistic expression; it is his history and legacy.
