Panel discussion - women and mothers in the creative fields
Welcome to a panel discussion with Architecture of Aroha to discuss issues related to women and mothers working in the creative fields.
During the last week of the Luleå Biennale, parts of the exhibitions in Luleå, Boden, Kiruna, Jokkmokk are activated. You can find the entire program on the Luleåbiennalen's website.
Architecture of Aroha is a collaboration between Berit Kristine Guvsám (1986, Sápmi Norway), Gunvor Guttorm (1958, Sápmi Norway), Iŋgos-Máhte Iŋgá, Inga Ravna Eira (1948, Sápmi Norway), Jasmine Te Hira (1990, Aotearoa New Zealand ), Tanya Reihana White (1965, Aotearoa New Zealand), curated by Zoe Black (1985, Aotearoa New Zealand). In Architecture of Aroha, a dialogue develops between two culturally significant objects: wahakura and gietkka, traditionally designed cradles from the Maori and Sami communities, respectively. Within these indigenous groups, the creation of the cradle and its materiality is more than a craft; it is a way to take part in ancestors' knowledge of love, care and a worldview that brings together nature, lands, creators, families and ancestors.
