Love and Trade – A Situated Meal at Samegården

Artists and researchers in Kin’s multi-year project on art, food, and the environment, The Benevolent Food, have created this meal in response to two historical factors that have significantly influenced food traditions and other forms of exchange in the region: love and trade. Brytaregatan 14, old Kiruna.

The evening will also include an introduction to Samegården and the Sámi Museum located in its basement, presented by Siv Labba from the Kiruna Sámi Association, which runs the museum. All guests are welcome to bring a dish from their home region to contribute to the buffet, which will be based on freshly baked gáhkku (bread).

19:00 Welcome with warm Sámi biđus soup (potatoe, reindeer meat, etc.) and Indonesian soto soup (vegetarian).

19:30 Siv Labba takes participants on a journey through the house, ending in the large kitchen, where people gather around the baking of gáhkku and share the dishes they have brought for the buffet.

20:15 Victoria Harnesk and Maria Lind invite everyone to share both the food on the buffet and their stories. Additional stories by Åsa Sonjasdotter, Kultivator, and Sergio Montero Bravo.

A sweet surprise will be served to conclude the evening.
