I kontrast till Lainio är den museala institutionen, där föremål och artefacter, röster och berättelser konserveras, kartläggs och representeras. Det är här kulturarvet görs tillgängligt och här där historia skrivs och skrivs om. Det var viktigt att arbeta med Norrbottens museum och publik där vi är intresserade av till exempel: Hur att expandera Lainio som plats och publik till museet och tvärtom? Vi är intresserade av: Vad, vilken berättelse, vems röst samlas in? Och vad sker nu? Vilka historier, föremål är framtida intressanta? Read more

Personlig koppling och intresse, vi valde Lainio för att det är den by där landets nordligaste människoboningar finns, 250 km norr om polcirkeln i Kiruna kommun, den del av Sverige som Sverige ville göra mer ”svenskt” när Finland förlorades 1809, som genomlevt både krig, rasbiologi och kulturbad. Där ryskt, norskt, finskt har präglat hantverk och byggnation. Där språkgränserna synliggörs för är det finska, samiska, kvänska, meänkieli eller svenska det talas? Det är där dagens identitetspolitik och gränser blir som luddigast – för vem gör egentligen vem till vem den är, vill vara eller kanske kallas? Tornedaling, kvän, same, svensk, finne eller sverigefinne? Read more

Det är främst ett museum för den lokala kulturen med en mängd föremål från bondesamhällets självhushåll. I Sverige finns cirka 1400 hembygdsgårdar. I de flesta fall är hembygdsgården också en levande miljö och under året samlas Lainios invånare kring återkommande aktiviteter så som, tillagning av renslaktssoppa, konstrunda, pimpeltävling, traditionell mjölmalning, firande av fettisdagen. Hembygds(Gille) som också har varit särskilt betydelsefull för kvinnors offentliga deltagande och identitet i byarna. De har varit de som framförallt skött dessa hus, arkiverat vardagsliv och arbetsliv, de har säkrat både kulturarv och skörd genom att samla in, jämföra och ihop analysera. Read more

A hillock by the side of the road is carefully combed. A sculpture disguises itself as a flea market bargain. The shooting range in the woods is turned into an almost living place for memory. Read more

A place often preserves its origin through a process for which it does not matter if the story is true or invented. At the same time, fiction intertwines with the reality it was first set to reflect. Read more

The recording of knowledge, as opposed to an oral and personal transmission of the same, tends to make it valid for all times. Klara Hobza searches for the space between the two in a book inspired by her conversations with Markus Vallien. Read more

The concept is calibrated to the point of art through a questioning of art’s instinct to represent, its wish to tell stories. The image becomes palpable. Read more

It does not take much to create a room for eternity. Especially if fire is involved. The hearth that has given rise to the nervous completion of functions by civilisation has here, instead, been made to point at the much-needed break. Read more

What constitutes a new beginning is mostly decided in the future. A modernity glimmering of laser beyond the modern speaks of an autonomy that, before it is experienced, on the other side of today's capitalism, cannot be felt as anything but mystical. Poetry? Survival? Read more

That which insists leads us to our destination, but it can never justify this insistence. Wisdom is silent. To insist is to swerve, to know is to be in all times and places at the same time. Archaeology and science fiction become one and the same thing. Read more
