Máret Ánne Sara

Art Sara has created a variety of artistic works, including collages, drawings, and mixed pieces. She is most famous for her sculptures, which often depict or utilize reindeer and reindeer body parts such as skulls. The most well-known example of such a work was the Pile o'Sápmi (2016) outside the Indre Finnmark District Court, and later the Norwegian Parliament, protesting Norway's reindeer policies.

In addition to her visual artworks, Sara has also written novels in Northern Sámi. One such book, Ilmmiid gaskkas, is a young adult novel featuring Sámi characters and mythology. Like Sara's visual works, her novels explore Sámi identity and culture in modern times.
