Known for her work exploring global ecological issues, Northern Sámi artist Máret Ánne Sara responds to Tate Modern's history as a former oil and coal power station, inviting us to view energy not as a resource to be exploited, but as a sacred life-force, sustained through reciprocal relationships.
Born in 1983 to a Sámi reindeer herding family in Guovdageaidnu in the Norwegian part of Sápmi, Sara's multidisciplinary practice highlights the impact of Nordic colonialism on Sámi ways of life, exploring the importance of preserving Sámi ancestral knowledge and values to protect the environment for future generations.
Goavve-Geabbil honours this worldview, inviting us to embrace the power of Sámi philosophy and science. 'Goavvi' is a snow condition caused by extreme temperature fluctuations due to climate change, leading to widespread malnutrition and starvation of reindeer, while 'Geabbil' signifies the importance of adaptability and mutual support in the face of this ongoing crisis.
Often using materials and methodologies derived from reindeer herding, Sara's powerful sculptures and installations which uphold the reciprocal relationship between animals, lands, waters, and humans.
