”Vain astumalla omaan aikuisen naisen
haluuni, voimaani ja loistooni,
voin suojella tyttöä minussa.

Sitä tyttöä, joka uskaltaa kokeilla,
innostua ja uskoa mahdottomaan.
Tyttöä, joka haluaa ennen kuin kysyy,
saako haluta.
Tyttöä, joka ei vielä tiedä,
että hänessä olisi jotain hävettävää.

Ja kun suojelen tuota tyttöä,
hänen kauttaan

suojelen kaikkia maailman tyttöjä.”

Pohjolan Naisen Luonto, 2026 ❤️‍🔥

Joka kerta kun lausun nuo sanat näyttämöllä, toistakymmentä tyttöä takanani, pala nousee kurkkuuni ja tunnen, miten kehossani alkaa jokin alkukantainen voima nousta.

Tunnen, miten joka solullani haluan suojella niitä pieniä, ihania tyyppejä, jotka edelleen liian usein joutuu ensimmäisenä kärsimään, kun maailmassa on konflikteja, katastrofeja ja sotia. Niitä tyyppejä, joihin on vuosituhansia liitetty sanoja kuten tyhmä, heikko, turhamainen ja dramaattinen. Niitä, jotka nytkin liian monessa maailman kolkassa saavat taistella oikeudestaan omaan kehoonsa ja koskemattomuuteensa, oikeudestaan opiskeluun ja koulunkäyntiin, oikeudestaan olla olemassa.

Haluan jokaisen tytön ymmärtävän, miten suuri lahja hän on tälle maailmalle, ja oman työni kautta toivon voivani raivata lisää tilaa jokaiselle maailman ihanimmalle tytölle loistaa omaa valoaan ❤️

Kiitos rakkaimmille tytöille @iidamakikallio @annasofiapiha @meerikoutaniemi joiden kanssa olen saanut luoda Pohjolan Naisen kiljuen, leikkien, laulaen, tanssien ja täysin mahdottomaan uskoen. Ja tietenkin monta kertaa kysyen: ”näytänkö mä teidän mielestä ihanalta tässä?”

Pieni tyttö minussa on saanut tulla esiin tavalla, josta vuosia sitten uskalsin vain unelmoida 😭 En myöskään pysty kuivin silmin kirjoittamaan, miten onnellinen olen, kun olen saanut tutustua pieniin tyttöihin teissä - olen täysin myyty 🥹❤️

Hyvää kansainvälistä tyttöjenpäivää! ❤️💫

What happens when you bring together visual art, performance, and a psychology keynote?

Last week’s ”Nature of Nordic Woman” performances transformed our Chelsea gallery into a theater stage for two evenings. These immersive experiences blended sound, photography, video, psychology, and performance. It was thought-provoking and communal, at times seductive and sensual.

The show invited audiences to reflect on emotion and anger, women’s place in society, interpersonal relationships, and what it means to rest and to be fully alive. Both vulnerable and deeply moving, the performances and the panel discussions that followed made us laugh, reflect on our own traumas and learned behavior, made us dream and even cry.

Thank you to everyone who came to the performances to support Ida-Maria Martela @idamariamartela, Iida Mäkikallio @iidamakikallio and Meeri Koutaniemi @meerikoutaniemi

We hope to welcome them back to New York again soon.

Many of you were impressed how this format mixed visual and performance art with a psychological keynote. For those of you who were especially interested in the psychological part, we would like to tell you a little bit more about psychologist Iida Mäkikallio @iidamakikallio and highly recommend you follow her (she shares her psychological wisdom in English too from time to time).

Iida Mäkikallio is a Finnish psychologist, acclaimed speaker, and one of Finland’s most trusted public voices on relationships, emotional intelligence, and psychological wellbeing. Awarded Speaker of the Year 2025, she is celebrated for her ability to make complex psychological insights feel deeply relatable, emotionally resonant, and transformative.

Alongside her work as the beloved relationship expert on Love at First Sight Finland, Mäkikallio has spent nearly a decade helping teams, leaders, and organizations better understand trust, emotional safety, and what allows individuals to thrive.

”Nature of Nordic Woman” is her first major artistic collaboration. Together with Meeri Koutaniemi and Ida-Maria Martela, Mäkikallio brings psychology into dialogue with art and performance to create an emotionally moving and thought-provoking experience.

Tonight is your last chance to experience Nature of Nordic Woman psychoperformative show in New York!

Meet Ida-Maria Martela @idamariamartela, one of the artists behind this powerful project exploring womanhood, nature, rage, and healing.

RSVP through the link in our bio.

As one beautiful soul who experienced the show yesterday so beautifully summed it up: ”It’s about women, trees, rage, and release.”

***

Ida-Maria Martela is a performance artist, trained dancer, and facilitator whose work explores the intersection of embodiment, human connection, and transformation. A former bronze medalist in the Finnish Show Dance Championships, she now creates experiences that combine movement, creative expression, and emotional presence to help individuals reconnect with themselves and take up space more fully in the world.

With a background in dance, social sciences, and communication, Martela brings together embodied, systemic, and societal perspectives in a uniquely integrated way. Her work has been shaped by years of collaboration with acclaimed philosopher and professor Esa Saarinen’s team at Aalto University, deepening her understanding of systems thinking and human interaction. She also draws from the principles of Open Dialogue, emphasizing the importance of relationships and community in shaping identity and personal growth.

At the core of Martela’s practice lies a deep curiosity about what it means to be human — how we move, relate, express ourselves, and transform together.

In Nature of Nordic Woman, Martela brings embodied expression into dialogue with psychology and visual storytelling, helping create an emotionally resonant and multisensory experience. Developed together with psychologist Iida Mäkikallio @iidamakikallio and artist Meeri Koutaniemi @meerikoutaniemi, the work emerged from workshops exploring healthy aggression, boundaries, and emotional expression – experiences that revealed how witnessing another person reclaim themselves can become deeply moving and unexpectedly healing.

Final show: June 25, 2026, 7-9 PM, showtime 7.30 PM
📍 Isabel Sullivan Gallery Chelsea, 501 W 23rd St, Chelsea, New York

On June 18 we opened “Nature of Nordic Woman” — a collaborative photography exhibition and psychoperformative work by @meerikoutaniemi @iidamakikallio @idamariamartela and @annasofiaabraham

The first performance opened last night, and * there is one more this evening at 7pm *

Sometimes it feels like I’m always running, always in motion, like there isn’t a place or ever a time for stillness in my life. Performers offer themselves as a gift to their audience, so that for a moment, we can be still and come into a world they have created for us.

As I sat there watching these beautiful women do something they clearly loved, I thought about the beauty in witnessing individuals who try to make the world a better place for one another. The small acts of bravery and sacrifice that might make a difference in someone else’s life.

These women went from a major production performing in front of 400 people, to an intimate version made for a gallery space than can host 40 guests. They invested their time, money, and energy to travel across the world in the hopes of sharing their message with a wider audience.

For an evening I became a stage tech, taping up foam core, adjusting our lights, creating rows of chairs and helping transform the gallery into a little theater. My colleague Joshua installed speakers and a projector 📽️ and the space became an immersive environment.

There was a fascinating Q&A discussion between the performers and the audience after the show. The room was filled with laughter, curiosity, empathy and understanding. I highly recommend joining us tonight for the final performance 🎭

The photography exhibition is on view at our Tribeca location, while the performances are being held in Chelsea. DM me if you’d like to attend this evening ✨

📍Performance: 501 West 23rd Street Chelsea, NYC

Let me tell you the story behind Nature of Nordic Woman and how it found its way to New York.

This week, New Yorkers have a rare opportunity to experience an intimate and stripped-back version of a performance that has captivated sold-out audiences in Finland.

**

A year ago, while visiting my wife Elina’s home country of Finland, I was introduced to three extraordinary women: photographer Meeri Koutaniemi, psychologist and speaker Iida Mäkikallio, and performance artist Ida-Maria Martela.

Together, they had created Nature of Nordic Woman – a multidisciplinary work combining visual art, performance, and psychology.

One summer evening, the five of us found ourselves around the same dinner table. It felt as though five creative forces had converged in one place. We spoke about Finland’s unique relationship with nature and the human body, shaped in part by the country’s sauna culture. We talked about women’s place in society, Finland’s history as one of the first countries to grant women the right to vote, and what it means to be a woman today. Again and again, the conversation returned to something many women share, whether in Finland or the United States: exhaustion.

At one point, we found ourselves discussing a question that fascinates people around the world: why has Finland been ranked the happiest country in the world for nine years?

Beneath social systems and public policy, could there be something deeper shaping Nordic wellbeing? Could a close relationship with nature help preserve a more intimate connection to our humanity?

Somewhere during that evening (check the last pic!), an idea emerged. Perhaps the work these women had created around these themes was something that would resonate in New York, too.

Now, one year later, Nature of Nordic Woman has traveled to the United States for the first time.

Last Thursday, we opened the accompanying photography exhibition at our gallery in Tribeca. On June 24 and 25, we will present two psychoperformative performances at our Chelsea gallery.

Reserve your place for Wednesday or Thursday evening’s performance, RSVP via the link in our bio!

Location: 📍 Isabel Sullivan Gallery, 501 W 23rd Street, Chelsea
