ElleMina Kuoljok Baer (25) from Jokkmokk has been named “Young Artist of the Year” by Riddu Riđđu.

Henrik Olsen has been appointed as the new general manager of the international Indigenous festival Riddu Riđđu. Olsen comes to the festival from his role as Senior Advisor at Davvi Álbmogiid Guovddáš/Centre for Northern Peoples.

Riddu Riđđu invites Sámi filmmakers and Indigenous filmmakers to submit films to the festival's short film program. 

Riddu Riđđu Festivála aims to encourage artistic development amongst young Sámi artists and create a platform for them to reach national and international audience.

We are incredibly excited to offer some of that patented Riddu Riđđu vibe already in March, when Tanya Tagaq finally returns to Olmmáivággi! 

From February 4th until February 6th Riddu Riđđu will hold Sámi national day celebrations in cooperation with Center for northern peoples, Nord-Troms Museum, Giellasiida 

We are proud to announce that nêhiyawak, also known as Cree, have been chosen as the Northern People of the Year 2025 at Riddu Riđđu! 

Together with the management Hedline Arts, Riddu Riđđu has organized the first-ever Sámi showcase at the Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg this week.

During the opening of this year's Riddu Riđđu Festivála, we were awarded TONO's Formidlerpris 2024. Formidlerprisen is an award given by TONO (the Norwegian composer rights management organization) which is awarded annually to an "exceptional presenter of music".
