The Camden Conference and Rockland Public Library presented Susana Hancock  on Thursday, December 3 at 6:30pm. Her talk, “Making Music, Finding Self”  was hosted on the Zoom platform.

We often think of music as art, as culture, as expression. For the Sámi in northern Fennoscandia, however, music is so much more. Focusing on both traditional joik and modern rap, this presentation will explore how Norwegian Sámi use music to give new breath to indigenous identity, preserve language and color the country’s political landscape.
