As part of the research project Acting on the margins: Arts as social sculpture, the SoftPowerArt experiment included eight sub-projects executed by nine artists: Amir Abdi, Maria Huhmarniemi, Satu Miettinen, Taina Kontio, Raisa Raekallio, Misha del Val, Melanie Sarantou, Mari Mäkiranta and Heidi Pietarinen. Addressing the role of the arts in expressing societal, political and environmental viewpoints in Finland’s most northerly region, the experiment was conducted between December 2020 and December 2021 to investigate rising levels of eco-anxiety in remote regions of Finnish Lapland, where communities live in close proximity to their natural environment.

The assessment methodology of the experiment was unstructured focus group discussions involving nine lead artists. Artworks produced in the SoftPowerArt experiment employed reflection, interpretation and analysis of dialogical art and arts-based environmental conflict mediation, contributing to new visual, embodied and reflective approaches to policy discussion.
