Mirja Hiltunen (Doctor of Arts, M.Ed.) is a University Lecturer in Art
Education in the Faculty of Art and design at the University of
Lapland. She has devised a performative art strategy as part of her
work in art teacher education and has been leading community-based
art workshops and projects in Lapland for over ten years. She has
recently completed her Ph.D. on community-based art-education in the
northern sociocultural context. Her study combines concrete cultural
activities, development of these activities through art education
projects, and theoretical examination of the subject area. The placespecificity,
performativity and social dimensions of art are of particular
interest to her, and she has published numerous papers in this area.
