The art exhibition Mother Earth's Self-Portraits (Äiti Maan omakuvat) explores the relationship between humans and nature through a series of works in which Mother Earth is portrayed as a conscious being. The exhibition depicts both the flourishing of our relationship with nature and its decline and destruction.

Elviira Elo is a 27-year-old artist from Helsinki.

The exhibition can be seen during the library opening hours. Welcome!
