In the Forest's Care - Artist Meeting: Susu Rytteri

Visual artist and biologist Susu Rytteri creates a monumental work "Utopia from the Forest" in the Kanneltalo gallery. Through a background plastered with clay mortar, a large flock of delicate rowan butterflies flies. Alongside the work, a series of one hundred drawings titled "Tree of Life" and moving images are presented.

The artist meeting with Susu Rytteri takes place on Saturday, August 22 at 3 p.m. It is part of a larger exhibition and event series "In the Forest's Care", which combines visual art, sound, movement, and participatory experiences. The series marks the culmination of the two-year Metsäkissa2044 project, funded by the Kone Foundation.
