Observation of change in pedagogical performance

Participatory art, biodiversity and environmental ethics converge in a collaborative initiative within a forest restoration project. Focused on transitioning spruce forests to Indigenous birch ecosystems, the project involves artists, researchers and locals to explore human responsibility in ecological change. Using art-based action research, this visual essay examines how performative public art fosters kinship with human and non-human species while raising awareness of biodiversity. Through visual documentation, the study showcases art’s role in environmental discourse and comprehension.

Shifting Ground: Art exhibition as informal pedagogy on changing ArcticThe chapter addresses the urgent need for innovative teaching and learning models that create and examine human-land relationships as collective expression. It presents how artists and art educators in northern regions of Canada and Finland address the impacts of climate change and natural resource extractions. Their art practices, which include aesthetic, material, interactive, time-based, sound, and performance elements, as well as viewer engagement in exhibitions, serve as a means to advocate for social, cultural and environmental justice. These regions share the urgency of landscapes in distress impacted by climate change, challenging distances of remote communities, land (and water) use, histories of colonialism and questions of sovereignty. Many local environmental conflicts are ongoing in Northern Finland and Canada, some of which have persisted for decades, causing community members to experience uncertainty and frustration. Artists and educators reflect on and respond to land use, mining, forestry and related conflicts that determine the region’s possible future and life. They also are optimists in their promotion of positive change.

Participatory art with trees: pedagogical approachThe study combined research in participatory art, transformative education and Arctic arts. The research aimed to enhance communication with nature and general nature connectedness and well-being. An art workshop and participatory installation were designed to foster dialogue between human subjects and powers of nature using various artistic and bodily exercises. Following the principles of arts-based research, it was enhanced through documentary photographs and participants’ reflections. Findings indicate that expanding dialogue and sense of community between humans and powers of nature provides a sense of integrity. The value and potential implications of contemporary art discussed in this article are associated with informal education: facilitating healing and creating an opportunity for including other-than-human into sense of community.

Be the nature: Enhancing nature-connectedness through art museum pedagogyThis chapter presents the implementation and outcomes of a developing pedagogical art workshop for the art exhibition With the Last Wolf in the Särestöniemi Museum in Kittilä, Northern Finland. According to Mayer (2005), to learn how to teach, art museum educators have looked to sources in art history, which is why art history has played a determining role in the content of educational experiences for art museums. In this chapter, we move from museum pedagogy derived from discipline-centred art history to transformative experiences for visitors and co-knowing-centred pedagogy in a posthumanistic sense. We concentrate on the test bed in the Särestöniemi Museum to answer this research question: How can art museum pedagogy enhance nature connectedness? We also ponder the potential of new kinds of art education entrepreneurship related to the Northern ecoculture due to growing interest in the Arctic’s creative economy and creative tourism.

In Northern Finland, where this study takes place, nature is a typical setting for recreational activities and employment. At the University of Lapland, attention has been given to art teacher education that supports the continuation of the Northern ecoculture and enhances human–nature connectedness. In this article, we discuss art, community and environmental (ACE) studies developed through international collaborations and joint, long-term action research based on the arts. These studies are part of art teacher training and an international master's degree programme in Arctic art and design. This article explains the paradigm changes that have impacted the aims and methods employed in ACE studies since the 1990s. The discussion is framed by a Western theoretical shift from environmental aesthetics to new materialism, post-humanism and decolonisation. We conclude that ACE projects can enhance revitalisation and increase capacities to retain cultural pride and local ecocultures. Art education that is carried out in a place-specific manner, in cooperation with local communities, is one way to keep traditions alive and foster environmentalism in the North. The article has international relevance for developing art teacher training in Arctic communities but also in other remote locations in which strong bonds between nature and culture are maintained.

New genre Arctic art in the city of Rovaniemi Promotion of de-Arctification and pluralisImaginaries of the Arctic cause so-called Arctification that does not resonate with experienced realities of the region as a multiethnic, multicultural and multilingual place. This chapter is based on long-term art-based action research aiming to influence contemporary art, art education, transculturalism and inclusion in the Arctic, especially in the city of Rovaniemi. The research is based on need to consider the richness and the variety of the circumpolar world and to the discussion on pluriverse, new genre public art, and new genre Arctic art. The chapter concludes that socially engaged art can promote the identification of minority cultures, encounters amongst members of different cultures and representations of multiculturalism and transculturalism in public space and visual arts. Public art as an identity symbol of locality can counteract Arctification. Arts can create an understanding of the pluriverse and promote openness to multiculturalism, as well as present the Arctic as home to a rich variety of cultures.

Art from the margins and colonial relations: To listen to or to ban artists' voices from Russia?The Voice of Artists exhibition was shown in an art gallery in Lapland, Finland, as a statement to consider artists´ societal and political roles as opposition to centralised power. At the same time, many Western organisations banned Russian cultural and academic collaboration due to the Russian invasion in Ukraine in the spring of 2022. This article discusses the Voice of Artists exhibition project and considers the possibilities, ethics and obstacles for non-governmental art associations when collaborating with Russian artists in the Arctic Region. The study is a continuation of arts-based action research to foster sustainability through international collaborations in arts and education. The theoretical background of the article is based on studies on critical and political contemporary art in Russia, colonial relations in Russia and art history when national romanticism endorsed and appropriated the North and the Arctic region. Power structures in Russian culture are Moscow-centred, and there is a need to decolonise and strengthen regional structures in arts and culture organisations, foundations and policies. Human-to-human contact without interference from the state seems fruitful in providing new dialogue and new knowledge.

Art-based events for conflicted communitiesIn the Arctic, environmental conflicts over land use and the exploitation of natural resources cast shadows over communities. Artists’ and art educators’ responses can play a meaningful role in resisting harmful developments. Emerging artistic and pedagogical interventions follow principles of socially and environmentally engaged art and art education. This visual essay describes a contemporary art event that opposed plans for an iron ore mine next to Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park in Finnish Lapland. An art-based action-research strategy was used to develop resources for communities in conflict. It focuses on describing the cyclical nature of art interventions. Analyses of activities show that art-based resources in environmental battles can foster cultural resilience, impact values, enhance hope and allow for campaigning that uses art to communicate environmental concerns. Further research into artistic interventions that open dialogue between parties in conflict is required.

In this chapter we present practical ideas and potential strategies for developing the use of arts-based methods in creative tourism. Arts-based methods have come to be widely discussed and promoted in various disciplines such as the social sciences, education, and tourism research and their strength is seen in their ability to engage participants’ creative expression and to obtain participation and knowledge that is not verbal. In the fields of art education and community art, the impact of art-based methods is seen on human growth and well-being, the sense of belonging, the enhancement of kinship, empowerment, and the ability to create meaningful symbols. Inspired by this, in this chapter we consider the potential of arts-based methods and creative tourism experiences for enabling learning and transformation.
