Keitaat / Oases captures landscapes, feelings, moments, little details and soundscapes of the North. Already fifth Keitaat / Oases piece will be created during 2019. The piece will be about nature experiencing in Kittilä, Finland. The artistic work for the piece was started in Silence Residency in Kaukonen in July 2018.
Keitaat / Oases installations combine video and sound art together with music improvisations by Amanda Kauranne and Mikko H. Haapoja and dance art by Gesa Piper. Often the Keitaat / Oases installations host also open discussions about nature experiencing and performances of guest artists.
