Coal Forest Ambassador (2024) artistic research project is an exploration of ancient coal forest revealed through the mining. In project, artists Grit Ruhland and Mari Keski-Korsu facilitate a walk to dialogue with Zwenkauer See, an old lignite mining pit to collect matters and relations for a sauna ceremony that took place the following day in Glasfabrik sauna in Leipzig.

The research is kindly supported by a grant from the Finnland-Institut.
