Kirjo 30.4.-17.8.2025

Kirjo invites you to colourful encounters with contemporary art, crafts and Sámi crafts. The exhibition features works in a variety of techniques by Nordic and Sámi artists. The exhibition is inspired by the question of how people can live in a sustainable way as part of the biosphere, a multi-species community on Earth.

The exhibition approaches craftsmanship as a wide-ranging phenomenon. For example, there are digitally processed works and works made through dance. Many of the artists in the exhibition combine contemporary art and craft methods. The way contemporary art questions habits and the connections between the body, materials, place and natural rhythms that characterise craftsmanship together create the conditions for a more hopeful future.

The artists in the exhibition are Liina Aalto-Setälä (Finland), Sara Blosseville (France/Finland), Hanne Friis (Norway), Ellen Grieg (Norway), Sasha Huber (Switzerland/Haiti/Finland), Kristin Larsson (Sweden), Kim Laybourn (Denmark/Norway), Sakari Matinlauri (Finland), Christelle Mas (France/Finland), Kirsti Muinonen (Finland), Outi Pieski, Biret & Gáddja Haarla Pieski (Sápmi), Anna Ting Möller (China/USA/Sweden).

The exhibition is curated by Ki Nurmenniemi.
