We’ll explore Oscar Furbacken’s artwork Repeämä (The Tear) and imagine different living characters inside it. What kinds of creatures might be found within the tear? We’ll investigate the museum space like these beings — jumping, crawling, and sneaking. We’ll create masks using collage techniques and give faces to our imagined creatures. Finally, we’ll gather around a large sheet of paper and leave traces of our characters in a collaborative drawing.

What does a strong wind feel like, or what would it feel like to be the wind?

In this art workshop, we’ll dive into the world of wind – its power to create, build, break down, and transform nature and environments. The day’s inspiration is Laura Grisi’s artwork Kaakkoistuuli (Southeast Wind), which guides us to experience the wind’s force through multiple senses.

After experiencing the artwork, we’ll try out what it feels like to be the wind – through sound and movement, we’ll play with different forms of wind and form a wind choir together. Finally, we’ll build nests and shelters from natural materials for the forest’s small inhabitants, such as insects, hedgehogs, worms, and dragonflies.

What does the forest look like through the eyes of an ant, a frog, or even a pine tree?

Antti Laitinen’s Helisevä metsä (Resonating Forest) leads us to explore the forest from different perspectives. Together, we’ll build a landscape from natural materials, imagine ourselves in the roles of forest dwellers, and create our own landscapes using paper and colored films. Finally, we’ll quiet down to listen to the stories of the forest. Maybe you’ll want to share your own?

Welcome to create a Tree of Life collage!

In this art workshop inspired by Karin Hellman’s art and the Arte Povera exhibition, we’ll marvel at the diverse materials used in the artworks and their meanings. What comes to mind when a piece is made from seashells or bed springs?

Together, we’ll build a temporary artwork from recycled and natural materials that invites reflection on coexistence and the cycle of life. The workshop offers a multisensory and creative experience for participants of all ages.
