Máret Ánne Sara to create 2025 Hyundai Commission for Tate Modern's Turbine Hall
Máret Ánne Sara will produce the next Hyundai Commission for Tate Modern's Turbine Hall, marking her first UK exhibition. The installation opens on 14 October 2025 and runs through 6 April 2026. Born in 1983 in Guovdageaidnu within Norway's Sápmi region, Sara comes from a Sámi reindeer herding family. Her practice examines ecological concerns through Indigenous Sámi perspectives. She founded the Dáiddadállu artist collective, operating between Kautokeino and Sápmi. Sara has participated in Documenta 14 and the 59th Venice Biennale. Her 2017 work Pile o’ Sápmi featured hundreds of reindeer skulls hung as a curtain at Documenta 14 in Kassel. That piece referenced a 2006 legal challenge by Sámi herders against Norwegian culling policies that conflict with traditional rights. It also invoked the 'Pile of Bones' site where the Cree nation in Western Canada stacked buffalo bones for spiritual purposes. Tate Modern director Karin Hindsbo stated Sara's work addresses social, ecological, and political issues facing her community with the aim of fostering awareness and change.
