Jenni Laiti to take part in a Residency at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park

In January 2026, Invisible Flock will welcome Sámi artist Jenni Laiti to their studio for a residency to continue their work together on the new artwork Voyage—a journey from the end of the world to the next one. The work is about salmon, grief, survival, decolonisation, climate adaptation and home.

Over the last four years, Jenni Laiti and Invisible Flock have collaborated looking to understand experiences of land trauma and solastalgia in Sápmi, the Indigenous-governed area of the Arctic. Through this, they have developed Voyage, a long-term artistic and activist project responding to the decline of native Atlantic salmon and the fragile ecosystems of the Deatnu River.

The project takes the form of interventions, community gatherings, sculptural and audio-visual works, foregrounding Sámi self-determination in the face of ecological crisis and systemic exclusion from decision-making. The residency will allow in-person progression of the project. Working together physically to test, iterate and move the project into production, leading to planned exhibitions in 2026 onwards.

This residency is made possible with the support of the Finnish Institute in the UK and Ireland, and the project has been supported by the Wellcome Trust, Kumu Art Museum, TIDAL ArtS and the VOICE project with support from the Horizon Programme of the European Union.
