Dear Riddu Riđđu friends,
Riddu Riđđu 2020 is cancelled. Today the Norwegian government decided that the ban on gatherings with over 500 people will be continued till September 1st.
A lot has happened lately and the coronavirus has a huge impact on our daily lives. Life and health are most important, but we also know that many people in the arts are struggling now.
This conference focuses on the peak of Euro-American imperialism in the Western Arctic between about 1789 and 1914. By putting perspectives and experiences of marginalized beings in the centre, we look at the possibilities of rewriting the dominant history of this time period.
At Riddu Riđđu everyone should have a good time; both the little ones and the grown-ups!
Each year, Riddu Riđđu invites an indigenous people to the festival, as The Northern People of the Year. The festival finds it important to create meeting places for indigenous people and to give indigenous people a platform from which they can tell their own stories.
Are you between 15 and 25 years old and want to meet other indigenous youth? Do you want to learn more about yoik and protest art? Want to see cool concerts? - Join Riddu Nuorat, Riddu Riđđu's own youth program!
Riddu Riđđu Festivála was the first festival in Norway to become Eco-Lighthouse certified (2004). Now we are recertified and have set ourselves the goal of becoming Norway's best festival on the environment - and we hope that YOU can help us reach our goal when you attend Riddu Riđđu.
The press is most welcome to the Riddu Riđđu festival! Now you can apply for accreditation for this year's festival.
