A booklet with a short
introductory text in German, English and Russian and the artist’s photographs of “Prazdnik Severa” (Festival of the North) in 2004. Indigenous people from the Kola Peninsula gather in Murmansk for this annual festival . The book is the result of an art project and informs
readers about mythology, the author’s
own history, and the Saami as a people between systems: that of wealthy Scandinavia on one side and and on the other that of the dramatically run-down Russia. The very hard living conditions on the Russian side exemplify the situation of many small-numbered indigenous peoples in Siberia.
The conference is hosted by the Murmansk State Pedagogical Universit .
