SUMMARY:Land as necessity\, land as possibility
DESCRIPTION:Kontakt: elin.lundell@genus.lu.se\n\nThe Crip and Queer Seminar
  series at the Division of Gender Studies is proud to present this lecture
  by&nbsp\;Sara E. Salminen&nbsp\;This presentation is based on my disserta
 tion unsettling trajectories – thinking queerly with Sámi feminisms\, a
 rt and archives\,&nbsp\;which I write as a part of a growing dialogue betw
 een gender studies and Sámi studies.Grounded in Sámi feminist and queer 
 theoretical studies\, and by building on the international field of queer 
 Indigenous studies\, the thesis explores Nordic settler colonial logics of
  erasure and their impact on Sámi understandings of gender and sexuality\
 , as well as how the relations between Indigeneity\, gender and sexuality 
 are being re-imagined in feminist and queer/trans Sámi art.In&nbsp\;this 
 presentation&nbsp\;I will&nbsp\;focus on&nbsp\;my chapter “land as neces
 sity\, land as possibility” which thinks with Outi Pieski’s artistic k
 nowledge production around an important item of duodji\, called the ládjo
 gahpir\, or the foremother’s hat of pride.&nbsp\;Pieski’s art goes alo
 ng and against settler colonial (knowledge) trajectories\, that place Sám
 i Indigeneity as out of time\, and shape the conditions for Sámi feminist
  and queer (knowledge) struggles in the settler colonial present.&nbsp\;By
  creating&nbsp\;resurgent/decolonial soundscapes\, Sámi feminist and quee
 r art demonstrates how other worlds&nbsp\;can be imagined in the settler c
 olonial dystopian present.Dr Sara E. Salminen is a postdoctoral scholar wh
 o works primarily in the fields of Indigenous feminist\, queer and settler
  colonial studies. Salminen holds a PhD in gender studies and is invested 
 in creative and decolonising methodologies. Salminen’s interdisciplinary
  thesis unsettling trajectories: thinking queerly with Sámi feminisms\, a
 rt and archives&nbsp\;(2026) is an exploration of settler colonial common 
 sense in academic Nordic feminist and queer thinking\, as well as a critic
 al dialogue with Sámi art\, Indigenous resurgence and queer theorising.Ac
 cessibility:&nbsp\;The room is accessible for wheelchair users (automatic 
 doors\, elevator\, accessible toilet).Contact:&nbsp\;Elin Lundell elin.lun
