Sukset Ristiin Susirajalla - Summer Academy of Multidisciplinary Art
Sukset ristiin susirajalla is a legendary institution for interdisciplinary creation, thinking, and
experimentation, where the cross-pollinations of different art forms and expressions settle
in to be enjoyed and admired.
The Summer Academy of Multidisciplinary Art will be held from Monday, July 8th to
Saturday, July 13th, 2024 in Nurmes, North Karelia. The artistic director of the academy is
artist Elina Pirinen. The curatorial principle revolves around the forms of expressive bodily
imagination and the visible connections and solace emerging from them. The artist-
pedagogues of the academy form a bridge between different generations.
Sukset ristiin susirajalla offers a delicious, profound, and enjoyable vision of
interdisciplinary arts education, listening to current currents in dance, stage, performance,
word, sound art and visual arts, creating new combinations, and understanding the historical canons
of various methods. The academy has established itself as one of the nationally significant
and unique platforms for teaching dance art and its allied arts. It is communal, feminist,
experimental, sensitive, intelligent, fun-loving, dialogical, gentle, therapeutic, imaginative,
and full of enchanting creative madness encountered together.
The academy hosts 60 participants annually. The week-long academy is aimed at
professional artists and students from all ages and backgrounds, as well as art enthusiasts
and beginners from different contexts. In the courses, everyone studies together, crossing
paths between professional identity and enthusiasts, under careful, gentle, and ethical
guidance.
The full experience of the academy, including courses, accommodation, and nourishing
vegetarian meals, is priced at €360.
Every year, we witness up close the positive transformation that occurs when a person
moves into art for a week, receiving support for who they are through art education,
meeting like-minded individuals, and studying art together with them. Especially in the
awareness shaken by the climate crisis and wars, the question of the significance of art
trembles, but studying art in a peaceful environment, surrounded by nature, together, can
be a significant resilience-building experience.
Registration and detailed instructions can be found at the registration link.
Do you have any questions? Feel free to ask! The director of the Art Academy, Leena
Nordberg, and producer Siiri Kortelainen will answer questions at
