    The Art Council of Southwest Finland has awarded the artist Saara Ekström. The amount of the prize is € 5,000. Read more about it on Turun Sanomat, 27.11. In Finnish.

    Ekström’s career has been active for three decades, and she switches her media smoothly from photo to video or installation to film while retaining her high quality in all medias.
