Anthropology colloquium: 'On Wings of the Raven'
March 5, 2020
The Department of Anthropology's colloquium series features a free movie screening
of "On Wings of the Raven," produced by Finnish nature photographer Eero Murtom盲ki.
The movie will be shown Friday, March 6, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in the Murie Building
auditorium.Murtom盲ki has mastered what is called, in Finland, a 鈥渄eeper understanding鈥 of nature. Built upon seven decades of exploration at sea, and in the forests and marshes of Finland, this understanding contains both the seen and the unseen aspects of nature. Central to this process has been Murtom盲ki鈥檚 close relationship with the raven, the bird of knowledge for Finns.
鈥漁n Wings of the Raven鈥 combines interviews, Murtom盲ki鈥檚 archival films and photographs, and travel footage in the forests of Vaasa and marine environments of Kvarken, on the Gulf of Bothnia.
