Katarina Pirak-Sikku, Dollet (2006).
Katarina Pirak-Sikku’s drawings, photography, installations and text-based works draw from both immediate family history and historical events and experiences. An engagement with Sámi identity and the integrity of Sámi culture are central to her work, bringing her to explore such themes as the history of race biology, the state treatment of the Sámi and the geography of Sápmi. Pirak-Sikku also uses staged self-portraits to challenge stereotypical gender roles, especially regarding the Sámi woman.
