Vaara-Kainuu Art National Park Initiative (ANP)
The concept is a lightweight, backpack-friendly set of camping-inspired artefacts that blend art, aesthetics, and practical gear to express the ANP park’s philosophy.
Easy to carry, quick to set up, and usable in various settings, the pieces form a unified collection but can also stand alone. Serving as both installation and ice-breaker, the set engages multiple senses and creates a small, imaginative “camp site” where ANP can meet people, share ideas, and present itself in a playful, artistic way.
