Looking North Through Art: Hanna Tuulikki
The next Looking North Through Art online talk is with artist Hanna Tuulikki on Tuesday 28th November!
About Looking North Through Art: Hanna Tuulikki
Looking North: Alternative Approaches to Landscape and Energy Ethics in Scotland is a public engagement programme that brings together artists, nature writers and ecological conservation projects from Scotland and beyond. In unscripted conversations, our speakers reflect on mainstream narratives surrounding those central themes. In doing so, we hope to highlight some of the ways in which one can engage with environment, climate change and energy related questions through an interdisciplinary approach encompassing the arts and humanities. We thus hope to contribute to ongoing efforts of adding such perspectives to a public discourse that is dominated by the natural sciences, innovation, and the economy.
The third part of Looking addresses our central themes through the lens of care, healing & regeneration. This is to acknowledge the interconnectedness of this planet’s ecosystem as well as the interdependence of all its inhabitants, including ourselves. Environmental, public and personal health are closely intertwined. Together with our speakers we wish to explore ways in which healing, care and regeneration provide a framework of being with our surroundings and planetary co-inhabitants. By pursuing positivity rather than neutrality, as in net zero for example, we wish to present care, healing & regenerating practices as central to constituting a shared sense of agency, empathy, and engagement – all of which we believe to be crucial in a healthy society that shares this space peacefully with other beings.
ABOUT HANNA TUULIKKI:
Hanna Tuulikki is a British-Finnish artist, composer and performer based in Scotland. In her multi-faceted oeuvre, she explores landscape in its entanglement with folklore and relationships between human and other-than-human beings. At the heart of her works are the artist’s forays into modes of storytelling that transcend verbal realms. Sound, performance and embodied hybridity become ways of interspecies kinship, of exploring the spaces in between offering moments of encounter between different beings. This is also the context in which Hanna’s artistic practice provides the opportunity to explore energy and its ethics in art making: energy here is both embodied, and ephemeral, shared and contained, yet generated in community.
In 2006, Hanna graduated from the Glasgow School of Art’s Environmental Art department. Since then, her critically acclaimed work has been shown both nationally and internationally, with selected recent exhibitions including the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane (2023), National Galleries of Scotland (2021-2023), Timespan (2022), the Biennale of Sydney (2022), and the Helsinki Biennial (2021) amongst many others. She has been shortlisted for the Max Mara Art Prize for Women (2020), was the finalist in the Arts Foundation Music for Change Award (2022), won a Scottish award for New Music in Sonic Arts (2017) and was twice shortlisted for a British Composer Award (2015, 2017).
