In a sauna, people meet strangers and exchange stories while absorbing heat being naked and sweaty. In this workshop we brought the sauna to a step further: we absorbed heat, stories, gestures, words, objects, skills, dreams and sweat them out to other people, re-enacting what we have learned. Also naked, why not.
We learnt how to live, how to breathe, how to make a kebab, how to embody old wisdom, how to tie shoes the proper way. All you need is a fan, a towel and a body. A kebab stick, a drink, some snackies. Participants developed a deeper perspective on what it means to operate within a complex identity such as the city and gained skills to open their own kebab shop.
Traces and Paths Towards Singularly-Plural Companionships
(2025)
Fulya Uçanok
This exposition emerged from my participation in the second interval of the Simultaneous Arrivals (Simularr) Artistic Research Projectâa research project inviting international artist-researchers to explore relational, situated, and process-based inquiries in dialogue with core researchers. Core researchers: Nayari Castillo, Hanns Holger Rutz, Franziska Hederer, and Daniele Pozzi. For the second interval, the visual artist and researcher Elena Radaelli and I were invited as visiting artist-researchers. (More information on Simultaneous Arrivals: https://simularr.net/about/)
The exposition presents my process during the residency, i.e. my Traces and Paths Towards a Singularly-Plural Companionships.
The eight-week residency (3 March-30 April 2024) took place across three sites: Graz (Austria); Lecce, San Cesario (Italy); and Klagenfurt (Austria). The exposition traces this journey through various mediums, including texts, graphics, video and audio material experiments, field encounters, and theoretical companions. My processes, are informed and shaped by my companion collaboratorsâhuman (research-creation companions), more-than-human, textual, and materialâwho co-inform and co-create the unfolding of the research.

Nierika-työpaja yhteisöllisenĂ€ vĂ€littymisenĂ€ â mitĂ€ syntyy tai vĂ€littyy?
(2025)
Hanna Guttorm, Juan Carrillo Rios, Lea Kantonen, Pekka Kantonen
Taking back the museum -hankkeen tutkijoina tunnustelemme tÀssÀ vuorokeskustelukirjoituksessa, mitÀ olemme tulleet työpajojen aikana luoneeksi ja tutkineeksi yhdessÀ sekÀ mitÀ on kehkeytynyt tai kehkeytymÀssÀ. Kirjoitus lÀhtee epÀilevistÀ ja itsekriittisistÀ kysymyksistÀ siitÀ, oliko yhteistyömme relevanttia/kyllin-hyvÀÀ/hedelmÀllistÀ/oikeutettua vai oliko kyse vain projektitapaistuneesta valtameriÀ ylittÀvÀstÀ matkustelusta.
TÀssÀ artikkelissa keskustellaan ja kosketellaan tai sivutaan erityisesti seuraavia teemoja: taiteellinen tutkimus, taiteen etiikka, yhteisötaide, alkuperÀiskansojen taide, alkuperÀiskansatutkimus, alkuperÀiskansojen pedagogia, alkuperÀiskansan itsemÀÀrÀÀmisoikeus, tiedon omistajuus, yhteiskirjoittaminen ja silleen jÀttÀminen.
Monimaailmaista taiteellista yhteistyötÀ: Uhri ihmisten, esivanhempien ja taideteosten verkostoissa
(2025)
Lea Kantonen
Meksikossa asuvat wirrarikat kehittivÀt 1950-luvulla perinteisten uhriesineiden pohjalta lankamaalauksen, nierikan, tekniikan: villalangasta muotoiltiin kuvioita mehilÀisvahalla kÀsitellyille puulevyille. Nierika esittÀÀ usein uhraamisen tilannetta ikÀÀn kuin ajassa pysÀytettynÀ ja nÀyttÀÀ tilanteen vapaaehtoisen uhrin nÀkökulmasta. Antropologit, taiteilijat, kerÀilijÀt ja valtiolliset turismin kehittÀjÀt edistivÀt nierika-genreÀ innokkaasti, ja se tuotteistettiin yksilölÀhtöiseksi taidemuodoksi, jota alettiin luoda ja esittÀÀ useammin kaupunkikeskuksissa kuin wirrarikojen yhteisöissÀ.
TÀmÀn eksposition kirjoittajat ovat yhdessÀ toisten tutkijoiden ja wirrarikataiteilijoiden kanssa jÀrjestÀneet yhteisöllisiÀ nierika-maalauksen työpajoja, joissa wirrarikataiteilijat ohjaavat osallistujia tarkastelemaan ja ymmÀrtÀmÀÀn maailmaa wirrarikojen tavoin vastavuoroisuuden ja uhrin nÀkökulmasta. Nierika-maalaus otetaan nÀin takaisin yhteisöjen haltuun.
Facilitating Dialogues in Indigenous SĂĄmi Art Projects at the SĂĄmi Centre for Contemporary Art in Karasjok
(2025)
Marija Griniuk
The current research builds on exhibitions hosted by the SĂĄmi Centre for Contemporary Art in Karasjok in 2023. These exhibitions featured Indigenous SĂĄmi artists, involving both curators and non-Indigenous art managers and facilitators. Some projects showcased solo exhibitions by SĂĄmi artists, while others adopted the format of exhibitions based on the RidduDuottar Museum Collection in Karasjok. The study aims to uncover the primary methods of facilitation and the application of love and care in creating spaces for interaction between artists, artworks, and audiences at the SĂĄmi Centre for Contemporary Art. First, the cases are presented, followed by an analysis applying two keywords â facilitation and love. The research method employed is arts-based research. The data consist of visual data in the form of photo documentation and text-based data in the form of notes. The data are approached through reflexive analysis. The analysis of these cases delves into the concept of love, containing sub-concepts such as care, compassion, and empathy. The findings yield key recommendations that facilitators of artistic gatherings can implement in art galleries presenting Indigenous SĂĄmi art.
