Spotlight Artist: Kristiina Lahde

When Kristiina Lähde first joined the Become Internationally Known program, she immediately recognized the power that working with others offers the creative process.

Inspired by her newfound community, she decided to collaborate with other artists…

Kristiina Lähde’s recent collaborative exhibition, “Pictures of Liberation,” had well over 300 visitors, while celebrating the many forms the female body takes… And led to two exciting new exhibition opportunities in the coming year! 

Not only was this show wildly successful, but her experience working with other artists gave her the support she needed to create new promotional materials and get her work into the world. 

Using newly designed posters, press releases and newspaper ads in combination with  interviews with local journalists, her work has reached a much wider audience both where she lives in Jämsä, Finland and abroad.

Today Kristiina continues to feel more clear on what she wants to say with her work and who she wants to make that work for… And the world is much better for it!
