K.H.Renlund Museum

Hanna Viitala’s and K. Tschährä’s exhibition is the first joint exhibition by these two visionary artists. The works presented in the exhibition ‘Between the worlds’ emerge from the subconscious and glimpses into parallel worlds. Hanna Viitala searches for the eternal myths of women in creation stories and K. Tschährä decodes shaman codes through her spirit animals.
