regndoftAfter yesterday's post touched on the connection between bodily autonomy and racial exploitation, it seems kind of fitting (but completely accidental) that I checked out a music video released earlier this month together with Sofia Jannok's latest album, Áhpi.
Sofia Jannok is arguably Sweden's most prominent Sámi artist at the moment, and one of few who have gained mainstream attention; the result is an album that is a lot more political than the former two. And a video both gorgeous and chilling in its portrayal of a topic that hits much closer to home than Egyptian mummies-- namely, scientific racism.
(And yes, I will be picking up that album next time I'm in town.)
