Somerset House presents the UK's first group exhibition dedicated to the art and culture of the Sámi people.
London is presenting several notable cultural exhibitions, led by a milestone showcase at Somerset House. The venue is hosting the very first group exhibition in the UK to celebrate the art and culture of the Sámi people, the Indigenous people whose homeland, Sápmi, extends across northern Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia’s Kola Peninsula.
Titled 'Through Our Eyes,' the exhibition occupies five galleries situated across the South Wing of Somerset House. Bringing together 19 artists, the presentation offers a vivid, contemporary portrait of living Sámi artistic traditions and cultural expression.
In addition to the presentation at Somerset House, London's broader gallery landscape features other significant retrospectives and cultural surveys. In Camden, the Museum of Youth Culture is presenting 'God Save The Queens,' an exhibition dedicated entirely to the women who shaped the punk movement, re-examining and upending familiar historical narratives of the scene. Meanwhile, Tate Britain is staging 'Inside Bloomsbury,' an exhibition that gathers more than 300 works to examine the enduring creative partnership between Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant.
The programming highlights major UK institutional efforts to diversify narrative histories, offering regional creatives insight into landmark presentations of Indigenous art, punk heritage, and modernist creative partnerships.
