ECO - Justice and Art: Raisa Foster

This lecture is happening remotely due to Covid-19 restrictions.

This public lecture is organized by the Leadership for Change Master’s program of Tampere University. It is the third and last out of three inspiring lectures related to sustainability and everyone is more than welcome!

The third, final, lecture in the mini-series "Mindset Changers" is given by Raisa Foster, a well-known multidisciplinary artist and scholar in Finland. In her artistic research, she embedded the topic of otherness, including gender identity, (dis)ability, and interspecies empathy.

In 2015–2017, Foster was leading the Art-Eco research project on empathetic-ecological humanity, which was funded by Kone Foundation. Moreover, her performances and media works have been exhibited in Finland, Iceland, Australia, Italy, Mexico, Hungary, Austria, Denmark, the Netherlands, and the USA.

Lastly, Foster’s film Sounds of Grey (2016) was an official selection of the Loikka on Tour program in 2018—2019, and her video work Lupina (2016) is in the collection of Tampere Art Museum.

The event will include a lecture by Raisa Foster followed by an interview, in which we will cover topics of different forms of modern art and its potential value on social and ecological justice and well-being. In the end, there will also be an engaging Q&A that you can take part in!
