Investigative and enabling art

The activities of the project include presentations and publications, Encounters in Art -seminars, and organizing workshops and bigger and smaller gatherings enabling networking between the different parties of research, art, and public services. The very heart of the project is the Able Art Group concept of community art and dance, led by Minnamaria Hirvonen. Able Art Group is a series of performing groups with varying themes and compositions of participants. The researchers of the project have also participated in the groups as dancers and ethnographers.
