Program 2025

Spirit Land/Vuoiŋŋalaš Eanadat is a practice-based transdisciplinary artistic research project around animated Sámi landscapes, based at Åbo Akademi, Åbo, Finland. It is a collaboration between Frank Berger, composer and theologian, Finland, and Emma Göransson Almroth, artistic researcher, and functions as an act of decolonisation in a hybrid form, composed of textile art, music, and theology. During 2025, Spirit Land/Vuoiŋŋalaš Eanadat is performed at Sigtunastiftelsen, Sweden, the Franciskus-festival at Kökar, Åland, and at the Abogagora festival for Art and Science, Turku/Åbo Cathedral, Finland.
