Dáiddadállu has created a unique interdisciplinary Sami art environment of high quality, where Sami culture, thinking and philosophy stand as the basis for contemporary Sami contemporary art. DD represents art forms such as visual art, film, dance, theatre, choreography, TV production, performing arts, design, writing, music and yoik.

In the period 2014-2020, Dáiddadállu went from 5 to 19 members. In 2020, we went from membership to artist partnership and increased to 21 artist partners. During the past year, we have worked hard to structure the business plan and functions, and therefore in 2024 we will open up to artist partners throughout Sápmi.

Nature, the Sami society, and people are minority and are often under pressure from external interests. Sami political power is severely limited. As a consequence, artists often work with heavy and challenging themes with the purpose of making visible and challenging the status quo.

We aim to facilitate artists and an open and safe environment for Sámi artists so that they can push boundaries. Compassion and communication are central values for Dáiddadállu. Communication applies to all life, both in the physical and spiritual sense.
