We are so very pleased to have received funding for our project Learning from the Mountain at Kilpisjärvi Biological Station! Thank you Culture Moves Europe and Jenny and Antti Wihuri Foundation!
We are working as a trio of two dancers (Gesa Piper and myself) and one photographer (Venla Helenius) on a physical and visual exploration of the relationship between body, light and land. We’ll be with the returning light in Kilpisjärvi (near the northwesternmost point of Finland, in the Finnish side of Sápmi) between 2. – 16. February 2025.
The project takes place in the framework of Ars Bioarctica, a residency programme on the sub-Arctic environment and art & science collaborations facilitated by Helsinki’s wonderful Bioartsociety.
Stay tuned for more as the work unfolds : )
