Exhibition invites and winter greetings

Holidays are creeping closer and festive spirits firmly rising! For those of you looking for gifts, we are way past the ideal snail mail timing, but in case your  special someone appreciates surprises a little later than the last week of December, we are ready with our best cursive, and can dedicate the book before adding greetings from you.

 If you’d like to feast your eyes on some Eyes as Big as Plates works on exhibit and happen to stroll on the streets of Helsinki, Finland, do pop into the Finnish National Gallery ‘Ateneum’ to see their current exhibition A Question of Time.

Talking rock – Public commission for the Norwegian Forest Finn Museum

Once a year Finnskogen in the South East of Norway turns into a republic. ‘Finnskogen’ translates as ‘Finnish forest’, and it has been shaped by migrating people from the Savolax area in Finland since the late 16th to mid 17th centuries. Since our first visit to the village of Svullrya in 2019, we have soaked up tall tales, hard facts, rune songs and black coffee, roaming the deep forests and floating islands together with the tight knit community of locals.

Przemiany Festival in Warsaw opening tomorrow!

If you happen to be in Warsaw, Poland over the next three days, don’t miss the 2025 Przemiany Festival, unfolding in the Copernicus Science Center from 3-5 October. This year’s festival theme was born out of the belief that empathy is the core competence of the future: ‘Empathy. For the naive or for the brave?’ and is looking at compassion from a broad perspective – neuroscience, evolutionary biology, the development of Artificial Intelligence and ecology. Przemiany Festival in Warsaw opening tomorrow!
