SUMMARY:Forest Finn Finnposium
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 27\n11:00 am – 1:00pm CDT\n(12:00 pm – 2:00 pm EDT)\nZoom (Virtual) \nFinlandia Foundation National\, in partnership with FinnFest\, invites you to join the online “Finnposium” webinar on Saturday\, April 27\, 2024\, at 12 p.m. Eastern Time highlighting the nationally-recognized Forest Finn minority abroad and their current affairs in both Norway and Sweden.  \nRSVP to the Finlandia Foundation Facebook event.\nRegister for the Zoom session here.\nFind more information on the Forest Finns Facebook Group. \nMore details about FinnFest schedule\, registration and information about lodging\, Tori booth rentals\, volunteering and sponsorship opportunities can be found at FinnFest.us. \n \nThe webinar will be moderated by Sarah Kammlah from Facebook’s Forest Finns in America\, a social network platform bridging the gap between America and the Forest Finn minority abroad. She will moderate a panel discussion of top Forest Finn experts and minority activists. Birger Nesholen\, Jan Myhrvold\, and IngMarie Bohmelin will discuss the riveting history and plight of this invisible culture. They will also touch upon the current “awakening” and governmental reparations which restore what was once lost due to the pressures of assimilating into much larger national cultures. \nThe Forest Finns\, introduced to FinnFest attendees by Sarah Kammlah last July\, are one of five national minorities in Norway ratified by the Council of Europe’s Framework Convention of National Minorities in 1998. America’s Forest Finn connections not only span the period of the New Sweden colonies but the generations that followed in the late 1800’s emigration rush. \nWhether you have Finnish American ties to Savolax and Karelia (Savonlinnan ja Karjalan läänit) or are interested in the current foreign affairs of this extended branch of the much larger Finnish family tree\, this thought-provoking and insightful webinar will enlighten your understanding of the Forest Finn people here in America and abroad.

SUMMARY:Tia Keobounpheng: "Revealing Threads" exhibition @ Mia
DESCRIPTION:July 22 – October 29\, 2023\nUS Bank Gallery\nMinneapolis Institute of Art\nMinneapolis\, MN \n\nTia Keobounpheng\, Finnish and Sámi descendent\, uses her artistic practice to recognize her familial connections to both the colonizers and the colonized. “Revealing Threads” will feature her abstract tapestries\, influenced by traditional Nordic handwork techniques but infused with contemporary interpretations and symbolism. \nThe results speak to marginalized histories\, heritage\, and the complexity of personal identity. The works will be informed by a research trip to Sápmi\, the traditional land of the Sami people\, in fall 2022. \nKeobounpheng is a designer/maker and artist living and working in North Minneapolis. She is a recipient of the 2017 and 2020 MN State Arts Board’s Artist Initiative Grant\, 2018 McKnight Foundation’s Next Step Fund\, and 2022 MN State Arts Board Creative Support for Individuals Grant. Her work has been shown at the American Swedish Institute\, in Minneapolis; the Finlandia University Gallery\, in Hancock\, Michigan; the University of St. Thomas\, in St. Paul; and the Anderson Center\, in Red Wing\, Minnesota. Her laser-cut jewelry has been sold by design retailers across the country for over a decade.

SUMMARY:Publication Party for Shy Lands
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, April 23\n2:00 pm – 4:00 pm\nDanish American Center\n3030 W. River Pkwy.\nMinneapolis\, MN 55406 \nDiane Jarvenpa announces the publication of her new book of poetry\, Shy Lands\, published by Blue Light Press! \nJoin her for a book release celebration Sunday\, April 23rd at the Danish American Center\, Minneapolis. \nRefreshments available and maybe also a few tunes. \n“There is a subtle and proficient music in Diane Jarvenpa’s poems. They derive their power from how deeply she sees and listens to herself and to the earth.We can both celebrate and grieve earth’s wonders\, those which are extinct and those which are gloriously still with us — if we immerse ourselves in the natural world and “let it enter and grow in our bodies.” – Freya Manfred \n“Shy Lands\, the country Diane Jarvenpa inhabits\, the country we all inhabit\, is ravaged and threatened\, but still\, with her power to convert the observed into a ‘cold wild song\,’ she finds for all of us some kind of inspired redemption.” – Tim Nolan \n“She uses words the way an impressionist painter deploys color\, ‘know[ing] how all this works\, the close and the distant\, / the heap and faded\, / the swoop and the click.’ This new beauty is only possible in a shy and quiet land\, the one she creates for us here.” – Joyce Sutphen
