Teemu Mäki – War and Us

Lappeenranta Art Museum, Lappeenranta

  • 3.10.2026–31.1.2027

The exhibition addresses wars, loss of biodiversity and the human relationship with violence and
mortality

 

How do the wars of recent decades and today – in Chechnya, Iraq, Ukraine and Gaza – differ from the wars once fought by Finland, and what do they have in common? What other forms of war exist beyond the clashes between armies or between an army and insurgents? Can economic exploitation be compared to war? What happens if we view the sixth mass extinction caused by humans as a war we are waging against all other living nature? Compassion towards other people or other species cannot be forced, but how can it best be encouraged?

The exhibition consists of paintings, films, installations and texts.

Teemu Mäki (b. 1967, Doctor of Fine Arts) is a writer, visual artist, theatre and film director and researcher living in Helsinki and Lapua, as well as the Chair of the Artists’ Association of Finland. At present he works as a researcher and artist in the project Just and Unjust Environmental Wars, funded by the Kone Foundation, which studies the links between wars and environmental crises.

Exhibition is closed 6.12., 23.-26.12., 31.12. and 1.1.2027.
