Majoritetssamhällets okunskap: follow-up on the recommendations of the Truth Commission for the Sámi People
This autumn and winter, Accelerator and Gaaltije Saemien Museume are organising a series of events that highlight the work of the Truth Commission for the Sámi People and tie in with the ongoing exhibition Aerpiemaahtoe. The series includes talks, lectures, film screenings and readings that aim to create space for discussion and reflection on Sámi knowledge traditions and to question how different knowledge systems are valued, managed and discriminated against.
Amnesty Sápmi, the Sámi Association in Stockholm, Gaaltije Saemien Museume and Accelerator are hosting an event to follow up on the Truth Commission for the Sámi People and the Commission’s proposals for measures to increase and improve knowledge about the Sámi people and Sámi affairs in Sweden.
Date: 11 November
Time: 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Language: Swedish
Free admission – no registration needed. More information will be available shortly.
The Truth Commission for the Sámi People presented its work to the Swedish government on September 30, 2026. Eight art institutions and organisations are engaging with this through exhibitions, concerts, symposia and talks: Accelerator, Amnesty Sápmi, Bildmuseet, Gaaltije Saemien Museume, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Moderna Museet Malmö, the Sámi Association in Stockholm and the Public Art Agency Sweden. Together, we highlight stories of colonialism, Sámi identity, relationships to land, language and belonging.
