Calling in from Finland, Ritva Kovalainen and Sanni Seppo, the artists behind World Forestry Center’s featured art exhibition Tree People, will share about the ten years of research that lead up to the creation of their book and exhibition.
The Finnish photographers will speak about how their work braids Nordic forest mythology with an almost forgotten treasure trove of customs and beliefs, portraying the sacred connection between people and trees in Finnish folk culture. There will be an optional gallery tour with World Forestry Center’s Experience Developer prior to the artist’s talk.
Tree People will be on view through September 29, 2024. Learn more about the exhibition here.
