Artist talk with Hanna Horsberg Hansen

Hanna Horsberg Hansen is a Norwegian professor emeritus of Art History. From 2012 until her retirement in 2024, she held a position at the Art department, at Academy of Arts at UiT The Arctic University of Norway.

She is a pioneering scholar within the field of Sámi art. The last twenty-five years, she has published stories about Sámi art from heterogeneous perspectives rather than as a linear, Eurocentric art history. Her publications comprise stories about contemporary as well as historic art, institution building and the connections between Sámi art and politics. In two of her publications, she contextualizes the stories as Avant-Garde practices.
