As Borealis artist in residence, Sea Sámi and Norwegian multidisciplinary artist Elina Waage Mikalsen is developing a research, engagement and performance programme that explores the interaction of Sámi history, identity and erasure with experimental sound, music and listening practices. Over two years working with the festival staff, creating spaces for Sámi artists to meet and discuss, and creating platforms to explore and present experimental Sámi sound and music practices, she is collectively mapping different ways in which indigenous identity translates through sound.
