Máhccan – Homecoming is set in the changing world of museums and deals with the repatriation of cultural objects to their original owners. In 2021, the National Museum of Finland returned thousands of everyday objects taken from the Sámi people to the Sámi Museum Siida. Filmmaker Suvi West takes the audience behind the scenes of the museum world, revealing a visual, philosophical, and spiritual realm. She seeks a connection with ancestors through old museum objects, eventually arriving at the collective pain points of the Sámi people. How can the damage caused by outsiders be repaired so that collective pains can be left behind?

Screening followed by online (live) Q+A with Sámi filmmaker Suvi West, hosted by Oein DeBhairduin – Inclusive Histories Curator of Traveller Culture at the National Museum of Ireland.
