What’s it about?
“Parting With Return (You’re So Busy)” is not only the title of the exhibition in the Vapaan Taiteen Tila bunker in Helsinki, but a call to softly carve out time from our overstretched lives and increasingly complicated global issues in a reflective and nurturing space aimed at the celebration of artistic exchange.
With installations, sculptures, videos, audio and an extensive performance programme, the production celebrates artists who have traveled through and taken influence from Berlin and Helsinki, reflecting on the open possibilities for artistic exchange and interpersonal understanding, continuing to build on the established cultural bridge that exists between the two cities.
Works by Aziz Hazara, Landys Roimola, KMRU, Lotta Blomberg, Sini Henttu with Sitoi and Exploited Body, Mariam Falaileh, T.E.H.D.A.S, Hexorcismos and others.
