Riikka Stewen

Introduction

Riikka Stewen is an art historian, writer and occasional critic living in Helsinki. In her research, she is fascinated by histoire à longue durée, by the power of stories and images to persist through time. Her most recent work focusses on aesthetics as a materialist-spiritualist practice, based on the idea of universal creaturely solidarity. She teaches art history and theory at the Academy of Fine Arts, University of the Arts Helsinki.
