The public part of the work was an open party, a performance, in an exhibition space. Maarit Mustonens were present in the event amongst other guests. Author Tuija Lehtinen, who in 1996 wrote a young adults novel Kundi kesätukkainen with a 16-year-old protagonist named Maarit Mustonen, also visited the party.
During the work I collaborated with linguist, university lecturer Terhi Ainiala. We arranged a course on name and identity at the University of Helsinki. The students could follow my work and three of them made a research project of the meeting of Maarit Mustonens.
The work was supported by University of Helsinki's Teachers' Academy / Terhi Ainiala.
