During Ušllu Álbmotgaskasaš Teáhterriemut you will find a special festival book selection in our book shop, curated by poet and novelist Sigbjørn Skåden. We hope this selection will expand your experiences and give you new perspectives in the frame of this years festival. And if you are ready to dig even deeper, you may want to pick up an extended reading list in the book shop!

The physical bookshop is located in the foyer at Black Box teater, and will be open during the festival. You can also find our selection online, by visiting blackbox.no

“This selection presents significant books that shed light on the Sámi and Inuit cultural spheres. While the selection of books you will find in the book shop is small, it is designed to be both broad and very specific at the same time. As a whole this selection covers a large scope of thematics and aesthetic practices, but the books are by no means general. Each book is highly pin-pointed, and represents a peak of precision, innovation, knowledge, audacity. And each of these peaks is a portal into the wider sphere of the Sámi, the Inuit, the indigenous. This is a good place to start.”
– Sigbjørn Skåden

Helsing frå Sameland – Nils-Aslak Valkeapää
Iconic Sámi multi-artist Nils-Aslak Valkeapää’s first book has long been among his less known ones, but is no less a revelation. In this collection of essays first published in 1971 Valkeapää reflects on themes such as colonization, anti-consumerism, orientalism in groundbreaking fashion, speaking long ahead of his time. This is a book that broadens the understanding of both Valkeapää’s own work and of the foundation of the Sámi movement as a whole.
