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 Murtomäki.
The movie will be shown Friday, March 6, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in the Murie Building
auditorium.Murtomäki has mastered what is called, in Finland, a “deeper understanding” 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 Murtomäki’s close relationship with the raven, the bird of knowledge for Finns.
”On Wings of the Raven” combines interviews, Murtomäki’s archival films and photographs, and travel footage in the forests of Vaasa and marine environments of Kvarken, on the Gulf of Bothnia.
