Hi! I am Terhi's personal web page. A hand-built, old school representation of Terhi on the world wide web. Terhi holds a PhD in digital media from the University of Porto (Portugal) and an MA in art education from the University of Lapland (Finland). Terhi is an artist/researcher. Terhi's PhD strove to find some questions and to question some answers about migration as movement and about voice / interaction as an artistic approach. You can contact Terhi at firstnamelastname @ that most common email service provider in the world . com but make sure you spell her firstname right (it is difficult for non-Finnish speakers).

Welcome, stranger.
