Kin Museum, Kiruna
With works such as Garjját/The Crows, Girdi noaiddit/Flying shamans and Historjá, Britta Marakatt-Labba has literally embroidered Sami history. "In the footsteps of the stars - Britta Marakatt-Labba's embroidered worlds" will be her first major retrospective in Sweden.
The exhibition includes nearly eighty works from five decades. The well-known twenty-four meter long work Historjá (2004-2007), originally commissioned for Romsa/Tromsö University and which received a large audience in connection with the Documenta 14 exhibition in Kassel in 2017, is included in the exhibition. Britta Marakatt-Labba has since her international breakthrough there, and in the main exhibition at the Venice Biennale 2022, attracted a lot of attention and her work can now be found in a wide range of art institutions.
