SAMFORSK arranged a two-days symposium on contemporary research in acoustic ecology at The Arctic University Museum and Árdna – UiT’s Sami Cultural building from 3th to 4th of November 2025. The event was organised in collaboration with Digijoik and Sharing Our Knowledge. This symposium collectively explored the intersections of Sámi cultural heritage, soundscapes, and artistic research, emphasizing the role of sound, rhythm, and storytelling as living, relational archives. Central themes include the politics of listening, biocultural sustainability, and the ethical dimensions of preserving, translating and circulating research or artefacts rooted in Sámi cultural praxis.
