Luleå Municipality Responds to Controversy Over Festival Booking After Samí Film Incident
I sommar går den delvis kommunsponsrade festivalen Splash av stapeln i Luleå. En av akterna, Roc boyz, har polisanmälts efter att ha visat en animerad film med våld mot samer under en spelning. – Som människa blir man såklart drabbad. Men det är arrangörens ansvar att ställa saker till rätta, säger Evelina Rydeker (MP), ordförande i kultur-och fritidsnämnden i Luleå.
Luleå Municipality is addressing criticism regarding the booking of the Roc boyz musical act for the partially municipally-sponsored Splash festival. The group faced police reports after showing a violent animated film depicting Samí people during a performance. Evelina Rydeker, chair of the culture and leisure committee, expressed personal distress but emphasized that the responsibility for rectifying the situation lies with the festival organizers. The incident has sparked debate about the municipality's role in vetting performers and ensuring cultural sensitivity. Luleå is now reviewing its policies for event funding and oversight.
This situation highlights the complexities of municipal sponsorship of cultural events and the need for sensitivity towards indigenous groups.
