Mandaatista
Mandaatista is a term originating from the Finnish language, generally referring to a form of public art or intervention that is temporary and often site-specific. The concept emphasizes the act of doing or creating within a particular context, rather than producing a lasting object. Mandaatista projects can encompass a wide range of activities, from temporary installations and performances to ephemeral street art and community-based initiatives. The "mandate" in the term suggests a deliberate action or purpose, often with a social or artistic intention, carried out within a specific time and place.
The transient nature of mandaatista is a key characteristic. These works are not intended to be permanent
