Maarit Magga

I am an artistic researcher and was previously a teacher of the Sámi language. I have attained formal qualifications through a doctoral degree and have thus drawn upon a career spanning over 40 years as a craftsman. Today, I teach and conduct research in duodji at the world's only Sámi-language educational institution, the Sámi University of Applied Sciences in Kautokeino, Norway. The Sámi language is the language of work and administration. I conduct artistic research by combining theoretical reflection with creating art and craft by hand.
