Catharina Kajander: Contemporary X-mas Cribs 
During the 2000s, the artist created several nativity scenes as tableaus that comment on current television news. The inspiration for this concept originated from the PESEBRES tradition in Catalonia, where she frequently visited her son during the Christmas season and encountered numerous displays of skillfully crafted nativity scenes. The birth of Jesus itself occurred during a traumatic flight, which motivated the artist to construct her interpretations of TV news within old television sets, using dolls and toys to reflect on current events—often traumatic experiences that have affected her, sometimes since childhood.
Ceramic artist Catharina Kajander (born 1945 in Helsinki) has worked as an independent artist since 1968 on various projects and exhibitions.
