Artists and designers

Sculpting

Tom Engblom

I draw inspiration for my works from my environment. These ideas can be political or poetic, emerging from both the sense and nonsense of life.

Fine arts and artistic research

Jaana Erkkilä-Hill

My art is a way of thinking in forms and colours, guided by trust in intuition.

Mirja Hiltunen

The starting point of my community art practice is the socio-cultural environment of the locality and its traditions.

Environmental art and research

Maria Huhmarniemi

In both my art and research, I turn my gaze northwards. My practice engages with environmental contemporary art and explores how art can contribute to shaping eco-culture.

Design and research

Milla Johansson

I develop Arctic glass design with an international impact.

Art photography and photojournalism

Anu Jormalainen

I am an eternal seeker in service of photographic art and photojournalism.

Textile art

Ritva Jääskeläinen

My works are based on photographs, through which I seek to convey a sense of fleeting atmosphere.

Ecofeminist media art, socially engaged community art, and arts-based research

The work Fierranjohka emerged at the intersection of performance, photography, video, and bioart. This reflects well the multidisciplinary nature of my practice.

Image-maker and art historian

Anniina Koivurova

My image-making is an act of immersion and focus, guided by the hand and the eye.

Printmaking and installations

Leila Lipiäinen

I discover strange and intriguing forms and materials in existing objects.

Artist and researcher

Mari Mäkiranta

I address related issues through environmental and art activism. I am a photographic artist, and my works often exist at the intersection of moving image and photography.

Textile art and research

Heidi Pietarinen

My art and research focus on textile art, textile history, and bioart.

Researcher and visual designer-artist

Leena Raappana-Luiro

I focus on the impressions created by visual style.

Art Through the Seasons

Antti Stöckell

I make spontaneous winter art during skiing trips, co-agency with snow and light, and planetary balancing.

Documentary filmmaker and researcher

Niko Väistö

I am fascinated by people and fellow beings in their diverse environments.
