Information about the artist / the group

I'm Reeta Suvanto and my Karelian name is Moisein Reeta. I am a visual artist and my main interest is in the textile and jewelry art. I'm working mostly with Karelian culture and language and I'm re-learning my family's culture and language. In my artistic work I'm studying the traditional clothing of a Karelian woman. I'm interested in its symbolism and power in life's turning points. I am a passionate defender of minority languages and all my works are named in Karelian language. I'm also interested using traditional Karelian lament styles as a part of my artistic work.

Program during Konstrundan

I present my work. There is an exhibition in the common space.
