Miina Akkijyrkkä, sculptess, painter and designer, rare-breed establisher with some 20 cows in Helsinki is beeing attacked from her home city Helsinki. She should leave her farm after 15 years in the south point of Helsinki. Her newest designs are Marimekko textiles. She had last years more than ten exhibitions a year. She is explosive character and not communication skilled. That is why media has been "killing" her image. I think she is one of most superior artists of this century. Please help her to be able to stay some years at home. The cattle that she has is unique and she has no real place to go. Her works would stand out in the rain. The bureaucracy of the city Helsinki are like this: the building dept will have her out, the cultural dept took her in.

This is completely unfair. Miina is a true talent and those cows are part of the local landscape. Helsinki should be supporting her not pushing her out like this.

The city has way too much red tape. Leave her farm alone. She knows more about art than any of those bureaucrats.
