The God That Destroys by Jyoti Mistry


The God That Destroys looks at the legacy of Swedish colonialization of the Sámi people as an ever-perpetuating cycle of forced assimilation, cultural oppression and extractivist exploitation.

Jyoti Mistry uses archival sources from the first half of the 20th century, newly shot 16mm footage that mimics the archive and animation to create a tapestry that intertwines Sámi cosmology with commentary on capitalist destruction.
