In his talk on the evening of the Sámi National Day, professor Harald Gaski from Sámi allaskuvla / Sámi University in Guovdageaidnu/ Kautokeino will give an introduction to Sámi aesthetics, seen from a Sámi and Indigenous point of view. On the basis of Sámi concepts of recognizing the world around us he will suggest ways of interpreting Sámi and Indigenous art and literature.

Harald Gaski is a Professor in Sámi Literature at Sámi allaskuvla / Sámi University of Applied Sciences in Norway. He now lives in his original home community Deatnu (Tana) in North Norway, after more than 40 years in Tromsø at the university there. Gaski is the author and editor of several books on Sámi literature and culture. Particularly well-known are his interpretations of works by Nils-Aslak Valkeapää, who was awarded the 1991 Nordic Council Literature Prize.

Gaski is participating in the role of tracer for the Bergen Assembly and Bergen School of Architecture cross course program (04. - 07. Feb), After Destruction, shared by Shareef Sarhan, Majdal Nateel and Rana Batrawi.
