MAIN EXHIBITION
UUDISASUKKAAT – ANDREAS ALARIESTON MUISTOJA SOMPIOSTA
Andreas Alariesto was a unique storyteller whose works preserve the vanishing folklore of Lapland. The exhibition The Settlers takes you on a journey to the wilderness of Sompio, where axes and hard labor turned the wilds into homes. Alariesto’s colorful paintings and their accompanying stories provide a window into the settlers’ everyday lives, their resilience, and their deep connection with nature.
