The fifth meeting of the project partners in Haparanda
The fifth day started with an interesting trip to Aines Art Museum. It is an exceptionally modern, contemporary museum. Hanna Kanto (born 1981, Tornio) and Essi Korva (born 1985, Pello) are the Kalottjazz and Blues festival artists of The Aine Art Museum in the year 2015.
Hanna Kanto lives and works in Haparanda, Sweden. She graduated as a Master of Arts from the University of Lapland in the year 2007. She has actively attended many private and collective exhibitions both in Finland and abroad. Apart from the work as an artist, she also teaches in the Swedish-Finnish Folk Art School.
Essi Korva graduated from the Institute of Design and Fine Arts (Lahti University of Applied Sciences) in 2010. After her graduation, she returned to her home district Pello, where she now lives and works. She has attended several international art exhibitions and environmental art happenings.
One theme of this exhibition is a research. Art can be viewed as a form of a research, which is practiced side by side with the traditional methods and branches of science. Art means a search for the new and the unknown. It also represents the interpretation of the contemporary reality.
Not far from the
Aines Arti Museum there is a cosy library. Everyone can come here, the books are divided according to favorite themes. The department for children has a playful interior.
Nilles Harpor represented traditional Swedish and Finish folk instruments and taught to play them.
Participation at Svefi with Susanna Soder was really nice. Students have performed popular songs. Everyone had the opportunity to listen to various styles of music instruments.
Annika Kronqvist hosted a sculpture gallery of students. The students had represented their works. Each of the works are very diverse, modern, cherished. The guests from Alytus have reassured themselves that the students of Svefi are really talented and hard-working.
The guests are particularly happy to have the possibility of visiting Svefi.
