The Sámi artist network Dáiddadállu has been named the third recipient of the MUNCH Award, the prize given by Munch in Oslo to honor artistic freedom of expression. The 22-member network receives NOK 300,000 (about £23,600). The award recognizes work carried out under increasing political and social pressure; Dáiddadállu has been active in defending Sámi land rights and cultural visibility. The prize places the social role of art and free expression at its center.
