I'm exited to be invited to be part of HEART project to work with cultural heritage and art education.
HEART (Heritage Art) - Safeguarding intangible cultural heritage through transformative learning within community-based art, is a European cooperation partnership co-funded by the EU Erasmus+ Programme.
Five project partners from across Europe will develop and test a fresh model for teaching intangible cultural heritage (ICH), with the aim of producing new tools for adult educators working with cultural heritage. I'm working as an art educator for the UEF team.

The first Pop-Up Clay Picnic will take place at Niskan tupa, Eno! The picnic will be part of Kekri celebration at the Eno market square at 23.9.2023. Come with us!
Pop-up Clay Picnic is a community art workshop where people work together to create an installation. There will be a table set for ten and the participants will make the food and portions on the plate with clay. The tablecloth, tableware and ready portions will make a communal, spatial installation. The installation will be left to experience by the audience and after that the ephemeral artwork will be taken down. The workshop and the arworks will be documented by photos to be shared afterwards. The process will discuss the issues of our local and global cuisine and the meanings of gathering together to eat.
The workshops will be guided by visual artist Miia Rosenius. The workshop is a Kulttuuritupsahdus by the Dream Year of Culture in Joensuu. More info and the instructions to prior booking:

Newspaper Karjalainen wrote an article about my exhibition in Koli Nature Centre Ukko
Thank you journalist Mikko Ahvenainen for your visit and a nice conversation about art and nature!
My exhibition will be on display in August at the Nature Centre Ukko in Koli.
Vernissage 2.8.2023 at 17pm. Welcome!
The exhibition includes works dealing with nature issues. I am fascinated by things of multisensory character and in my walks to nature I often gather interesting natural materials because of their fascinating haptic or visual form. The treasures of nature and the experiences gained from them often serve as sketches or memoirs for the resulting works. The exhibition features ceramic art, prints and installations. With my art I want to remind people of the uniqueness of nature. Even if we sometimes mistreat our environment, the nature and the forest always welcome us to their shelter.
Nature Centre Ukko, Ylä-Kolintie 39, 83960 Koli
Open:
Mon–Sat 10:00–18:00
Sun 10:00–17:00
