Case Pyhäjoki — Artistic reflections on nuclear influence 1
We are busy preparing to travel to Pyhäjoki, Finland next week for a two week intensive gathering called “Case Pyhäjoki — Artistic reflections on nuclear influence 1.” We have been making a “powerless powerpoint”—a slide presentation that can work without electricity—to introduce our work and experience working at the intersections of art, ecology and activism. We will post updates about the gathering of artists, activists, community organizers, and environmental organizations and post photos of our completed “powerless powerpoint” in the coming weeks.
Here is a bit about the gathering:
‘Case Pyhäjoki – Artistic reflections on nuclear influence’ is a transdisciplinary artistic expedition, production workshop and presentation events in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia, Finland 1st to 11th of August 2013. The sixth nuclear power plant of Finland is planned to be built at Hanhikivi Cape in Pyhäjoki. Read more…
