Ahkát – Mother Earth
Ahkát: according to the ancient Sami religion they are “the mothers” divinities of nature, nature which – at the extreme ends of the world – dominates everything Magic and reality Spirituality and tradition Mother Earth of a people without borders Mother Earth for a people of migrants. In national preview, the third chapter of a trilogy with which the photographer wanted to tell the people who live in the Arctic. On display is an excerpt from a larger corpus that narrates the Sami, a native European people divided by the borders of four states. Set in the county of Finnmark, in Norway, the project tells of an ancient and modern culture that has its greatest strength in its bond with nature and in the strong dialogue with it. In the past victims of nationalisms, today at risk due to climate change and a green economy policy that does not always take into account the rights of the natives, these people exist and resist and have much to teach to those who are willing and able to listen.
