Villa suusi, villa pääsi, villa viisi hammastasi,
villaiset sinun vihasi, villainen sinä itsekin.
(Tohmajärvi, J. Hakulinen 1891. SKVR VII, 5:3942)
Kolin luontokeskus Ukon galleriassa aukeaa huhtikuussa Ilai Elias Lehdon yksityisnäyttely Vastaparras. Näyttelyn pehmeät veistokset, seinäkankaat ja kierrätysmateriaalia yhdistelevät teokset tarkastelevat humoristisella tavalla miehisyyttä, suomalaisuutta ja luontosuhdetta. Näyttelyn teokset on toteutettu pääasiassa villahuovuttamalla. Näyttely on esillä kesäkuun loppuun.
---
Ilai Elias Lehto (s.1988, Joensuu) on pohjoiskarjalainen kuvanveistäjärunoilija. Hän asuu Kangasalla ja työskentelee Tampereella.
Lehto toteuttaa veistoksellisia teoksia pääasiassa pehmeistä ja kierrätetyistä materiaaleista, sekoittaen kuvataiteen ja tekstiilikäsityön perinteitä ja tekniikoita. Hylättyjen tilojen ja poisheitetyn poetiikka, sekä kulutusyhteiskunnan laitamilla tapahtuva roskittuminen kiinnostavat häntä. Pehmeiden veistosten ja tekstiilikäsityön pariin taiteilija on päätynyt puolivahingossa, rakkaudesta tekstuureihin, pehmoeläimiin, karvapintoihin ja kuoseihin.
Luontokeskus Ukon gallerian näyttelyt kuratoi Kolin Kulttuuriseura.

Cloudberry Felt Cake
Fascinating piece of fruit and such a beautiful symbol of the northern resilience. Somehow it's an important symbol for me as I'm trying to reconnect with my heritage.
As I was reading about cloudberries, I came upon this Finnish idiom: Metsä kuuntelee silloin kun kukaan muu ei (the forest listens when no one else does) and it gave me goosebumps.

Traditionalism vs. Assimilation Among Indigenous Peoples of Siberia.
As is the case for many indigenous groups around the world, native peoples of Siberia struggle to fit into the modern global village while retaining their ethnic identity and cultural distinctiveness. Since the end of World War II, the indigenous peoples of Siberia have had a special legal status which allows for certain “affirmative action”-like quotas and benefits. However, the main aim of these policies was to integrate ethnic minorities into the all-Soviet people and to inculcate the “new Soviet man” mentality. Compulsory boarding schools, where children from different ethnic groups were brought together from the age of seven in a collectivist environment, often served as the hotbed of such Sovietization. The effect on native culture was disastrous. But, as James Forsyth in his A History of the Peoples of Siberia points out, “Russification began even before this, in kindergartens, where most nurses and teachers were Russian speakers. Even where some of them were natives, however, there were cases when children or the nurses themselves were reprimanded for using their native language” (here the parallels with Native North American languages are obvious). In the Soviet Union, it was believed that minority languages and cultures would die out under communism, and that “nationalism can only be bourgeois”. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, a number of new laws have been adopted whose goal is to preserve ethnic distinctiveness of indigenous peoples. But can the tables be turned?
