About Heidi

Heidi Pietarinen serves as Professor of Textile Art and Design in the Faculty of Art and Design at the University of Lapland, Finland, a position she has held since 2017. She holds a PhD in textile art and design. Her research emphasizes knowledge and methods of textile art and design, posthuman design, and creative research through arts-based research (ABR). Pietarinen leads the BioARTech Laboratory and participates in projects such as High Altitude Bioprospecting and Life Between Art and (Reindeer) Blood. These efforts explore Arctic raw materials, microbes, the language of bioprospecting, and relationships with non-human collaborators, resulting in international exhibitions, peer-reviewed research articles, discussions, and teaching activities. She is a member of the Bioart Society and SOLU, Finland, and has contributed to funded projects including Future Bio-Arctic Design II (2021–2023), SEEYouth (2020–2021), and Remotely more (2019–2022).
