Dirk Gindt about theatre pioneer Harriet Nordlund
Dirk Gindt, Professor of Theatre studies at Stockholm University, has written a tribute to the theatre pioneer Harriet Nordlund and the cultural labour performed by Sámi women.
Harriet Nordlund passed away earlier in 2023. She was one of the founders of Dálvadis 1971, today's Giron Sámi Teáhter, the Sámi National Theatre. Harriet Nordlund worked as an actress at several theaters around Sweden, and as a playwright, artistic director and author.
She created genuinely intercultural productions that always kept Sámi traditions, beliefs and expressions centre-stage.
