The third, final, lecture in the mini-series "Mindsetbchangers" is given by Raisa Foster, a well-known multidisciplinary artist and scholar in Finland. In her artistic research, she embedded the topic of otherness, including gender identity, (dis)ability, and interspecies empathy. In 2015–2017, Foster was leading the Art-Eco research project on empathetic-ecological humanity, which was funded by Kone Foundation. Moreover, her performances and media works have been exhibited in Finland, Iceland, Australia, Italy, Mexico, Hungary, Austria, Denmark, the Netherlands, and the USA. Lastly, Foster's film Sounds of Grey (2016) was an official selection of the Loikka on Tour program in 2018—2019, and her video work Lupina (2016) is in the collection of Tampere Art Museum.
