Highlights from research publications
Making wooden spoons around the campfireStöckell carried out an art project called Wooden Spoons, which consisted of crafing wooden spoons around campfres on ten trips to diferent places. Participants included loved ones, co-workers and acquaintances. The art installation that was created during the project was shown in an international art exhibition in Finland and Iceland in 2017. In this chapter, Stöckell examines his Wooden Spoons project through the following questions: What kind of functional environment did the trips to the forest and campfres ofer for handcraf? How did this process encourage pondering of the signifcance of handcraf together with the participants? What kind of meanings did art practice have at diferent stages of the project and in the entirety?

Cultural sustainability in art‐based interdisciplinary dialogueThis article introduces an international and interdisciplinary summer school, ‘Living in the Landscape’ (LiLa) in 2018. LiLa's practices focused on creating dialogue among art education, anthropology and nature science and developing culturally sustainable methods for investigating cultural heritage in the Komi Republic of Russia. The article's research interest is how dialogue and cultural heritage appear in the artistic processes, artworks and final exhibition of the summer school. These are examined through art-based action research in order to develop international, multidisciplinary and culturally sustainable art education. The four-field model utilised in the research highlights the multidimensional role of dialogue in both individual and collaborative artistic endeavours.
