    How is subjectivity constructed in the image, and whose subjectivity is constructed?

    Subjectivity is constructed around the Romanian woman, who has elements from Romanian and Finnish culture; she has blue and white in her national dress and same colored flowers on her head. The milk and blue and white colored elements reflects Finnish nature and culture, so these things mixed with the Romanian woman makes a significant conflict with typical social advertising, especially in Finland.

    What prior knowledge is assumed?

    Prior knowledge is that Romanian people are minority in Finland and there are quite negative attitudes and stereotypes towards Romanian people and their culture. It is also assumed that you know what kind of typical Finnish elements are there and what meanings they have.

    Making visible in visual art (what does that mean in contemporary art)?

    Irmeli Huhtala has made visible the contrast between minority and majority. Huhtala speaks out that the consumption and advertising is focused on the majority and wants to raise a question about how Romanian people must feel about their position in our society.

      "Hope springs eternal" Hi! My name is Laura and I'm studying special education in University of Helsinki. My saying is " Toivossa on hyvä elää", which means (as I see it) that it's good to live with a hopeful mind because you won't get as much as you wish for. It's a saying with a hint of sarcasm..

    Thank you for your comments! I totally forgot to add the picture so here it is! It is a picture of lottery coupon. I think it reflects my idiom quite well, at least some way.. http://yle.fi/uutiset/veikkaus_samanlaiset_lottokupongit_myyjan_virhe/5978043#galleria744
