The lithograph "Part of the history" contains parts from Britta's 24-meter long embroidery "History" which was shown during Documenta 14 in 2017, which was her international breakthrough.

Britta Marakatt-Labba was born in 1951 and grew up in a reindeer herding family in Idivuoma, Karesuando. She began her artistic career in 1979 after completing her studies at the School of Art and Design in Gothenburg.
