Stillingsbeskrivelse

 

Hanna Horsberg Hansen is professor emertitus of art history. 

She is a pioneering scholar within the field of Sámi art. She has published stories about Sámi art from heterogeneous perspectives rather than an art history, as she recognizes that art history as a Eurocentric, linear history of evolution tends to marginalize and rather castigate all art that do not fit in to the evolution as primitive. Her publications comprise stories about contemporary as well as historic art, institution building and the connections between Sámi art and politics. She has also published within the field of education of artists.
