Whose Nature? – On Shared Trails
Mikkeli Art Museum, Mikkeli
- 28.2.2026–24.5.2026
The exhibition invites us to examine our relationship with nature from a new perspective.
The exhibition seeks sustainable co-existence with the diversity of life and encourages us to reflect on our notions of nature and its values.
Photographic art depicting nature is now more important than ever before, as it plays a significant role in renewing the relationship between nature and humans. If nature is showcased in customary ways, it stays conventional. The artworks in the exhibition do not depict only nature – they offer insights, lingering moments and surprising viewpoints. Could art inspire us to work for the good of nature?
The exhibition is curated by photographers Harri Heinonen and Marko Hämäläinen and features many award-winning contemporary photographers. Their artworks invite us to consider on whose terms we view and experience nature – and how we can use art to create connections within our diverse community of species.
The artists in the exhibition include Ilkka Halso, Harri Heinonen, Marko Hämäläinen, Sanna Kannisto, Ritva Kovalainen, Sanni Seppo, Juha Suonpää as well as Team Saxifraga: Julia Kemppinen, Kikka Niittynen, Pekka Niittynen, Heikki Willamo.
The exhibition was produced with support from the Finnish Heritage Agency.
