Artists: Britta Marakatt-Labba

Born 1951 in Idivuoma, Karesuando.

​Britta Marakatt-Labba's pictures are miniature worlds shaped with a needle and thread. They contain scenes from everyday life, political reflections and stories about Sami culture and history. The magnificent nature and the white snow of the sparkling winter landscape are constantly present. Britta was in 1978 with the start and engaged in building up the Sami Artist Group (Masi group). In 2014, she was appointed an honorary doctor at the Faculty of Humanities at Umeå University.
