”Where Each Stitch Breathes” extended until 30 November

Thanks to an incredible public response, Britta Marakatt-Labba’s exhibition “Where Each Stitch Breathes/Juohke sákkaldat vuoigŋá” has been extended until 30 November 2025. If you haven’t seen it yet, now’s your chance. And if you have – maybe it’s time to return.

Britta Marakatt-Labba’s embroidered stories depict Sámi life and everyday experiences, but also tell of state oppression and nature under threat from exploitation. In the exhibition “Where Each Stitch Breathes/Juohke sákkaldat vuoigŋá”, you will encounter her intricate works – from the 24-metre-long embroidery “Historjá” to graphic art, installations and sculptures.
