With The River - The Collective
Project type
Long term collaborative project
Date
2023-2026
Location
Finland-Sweden-Faroe Islands
With the River is a collective of eight Nordic established and professional artists based in Finland, Sweden and the Faroe Islands. It is a multidisciplinary and multidimensional endeavour to comprehend our general connection with fluid bodies, watery borders and border-crossings through artistic processes and production. Artists in the collective work across a variety of disciplines and artistic practices, including painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, photography, video, audio, participatory performance, text-based and ritualistic practices, as well as artistic research. These artists are: Eija Mäkivuoti (FI/SE), Jessica Franzén (SE), Jón Sonni Jensen (FO), Mari Keski-Korsu (FI), Matilda Löytty (FI), Jouko Alapartanen (FI), Alexandra Stroganova (FI) and Dan Helgi í Gong (FO). Beginning in 2023, the collective has carried out on-site fieldwork across the three represented countries: Sweden, the Faroe Islands, and Finland. The work is generously supported by the Kone Foundation (2025-2026), Nordic Culture Fund & Tjaldur - Friendship Association Finland-Faroe Islands (2023-2025), and implemented in partnership with Jala Art Association (2023) and Faroese Folk High School (2025).
