Children’s book festival at Annantalo
Annantalo Arts Centre · Helsinki
Would you like to step into a fairy tale, peek into a princesses home, ride on the pigeon Puluboi or build almost real asphalt? Now you can get a piece of Tatu and Patu's humor and peek into the mossy ground to look for Molli and get to know new incredible characters. Give a raisin a phone call, hug Kaneli the dog or climb into the dragon's nest; you can do it all at the Children's Book Festival! The Children's Book Festival takes over the gallery spaces of Annantalo and even spills over the edges a bit. Sometimes you feel quite small and at the same time strong and big, as Finnish picture books are presented in all their glory. With piles of books, a hundred illustrators and forty children's authors. You will encounter both old favorites and new favorites. As part of Children's book festival, various workshops, performances and other events are held in Annantalo.

All genres of children's literature are included; from picture books to poems, from non-fiction to board books.

Taidenäyttely: Krista Kemppainen – 2nd Chance
Kallio Library · Helsinki
Olen akryyleillä kankaalle maalaava taiteilija ja henkilökohtaisesti suuri viherkasvien ystävä. Suurimmaksi osaksi taiteeni käsittelee kasvi, eläin ja hedelmä – aiheita, joissa itseäni inspiroi luonnon jatkuva kasvu, luonnon jatkuva kyky parantaa itsensä sekä miten paljon luonto voi tuoda iloa. Tähän 2 Chance -näyttelyyn olen valinnut hedelmäaiheisen sarjan. Teokset on toteutettu jo aiemmin maalattujen harjoituspohjien päälle. Halusin antaa näille pohjille uuden mahdollisuuden ja rakentaa niiden päälle jotain täysin uutta. Aiempi maalaus saa uuden elämän, uuden merkityksen ja uuden mahdollisuuden tulla nähdyksi. *** Kallion kirjasto Viides linja 11 09 310 850 53 Facebook | Kallion kirjasto

Graphic Designer of the Year 2026 Exhibition: Viivi Prokofjev – Chop Chop
Luonnos · Helsinki
Known as an art director, illustrator and book designer, Viivi Prokofjev transforms Luonnos Gallery into a space where historical styles converge, and spends a month chopping vegetables as part of an ongoing performance. Welcome to the opening of the exhibition on Friday 2 October, 17.00-19.00, at Grafia’s Luonnos Gallery. “Chop chop” means to hurry or rush, yet the exhibition is an exercise in the opposite. Inspired by French culinary traditions, Chop Chop plays with a basic geometric form and explores the relationship between the decorative and the practical. The exhibition brings the often invisible labour of preparation into focus. In addition to the performance, the exhibition consists of spatial design and a Tropism print publication, featuring texts by Benjamin Mouly, Maya Byskov and Sara Karppinen on the relationship between form and matter, as well as kitchen practices and rituals. Luonnos 3.10.-22.11.2026 Wed-Fri 12.00-17.00 Sat-Sun 12.00-16.00 Free entry

Vanhoja muotokuvia – ensimmäistä kertaa esillä – Haagan taideseura

Lokakuun taiteilija Unna Nguyen: Ốc-tober
Etelä-Haaga Library · Helsinki
Unna Nguyen kertoo näyttelystään: Tämä etanasarja on maalattu lokakuussa 2023 osana Instagramin taidehaastetta nimeltä Inktober. Haasteen ideana on tehdä yksi taideteos per päivä, jokaiselle päivälle on oma sanansa inspiraatioksi. Sarjassa on siis noin 31 etanateemaista maalausta, yksi jokaiselle lokakuun päivälle. Olen nimennyt teokset kunkin päivän inspiraatiosanojen mukaan. (Muutamana päivänä tein tosin kaksi maalausta). Teemaksi maalauksille valitsin etanat, sillä olen ollut niistä aina kiinnostunut ja ne ovat kulkeneet mukana taiteessani paljon. Näyttelyn nimi, Ốc-tober, onkin sanaleikki vietnamin kielen sanasta ốc, joka tarkoittaa etanaa!

This exhibition features a diverse selection of works by residents of the artists’ residence.

Some of the artists featured in the Vuosaari House exhibition have been enjoying the scenery of Vuosaari ever since the building was completed, while others are newcomers. The exhibition has been curated by Aino Favén, Tiina Karhu and Anna Wilhelmus. The exhibition is part of the ‘Vuosaari-seura 60 Years’ event.

Matkoilta jää mieleen värejä, muotoja ja tunnelmia. Näissä maalauksissa palaan näkemiini patsaisiin, kukkiin ja maisemiin, mutta irrotan ne alkuperäisestä yhteydestään ja annan niille uusia merkityksiä. Teokset ovat jälkiä nähdystä ja koetusta - todellisuuden ja mielikuvituksen välissä. Tervetuloa!

Been through the desert on a horse with no name
The Blue Verve · Helsinki
Join us for the opening of Niina Karhunen’s "Been through the desert on a horse with no name" exhibition on Thursday, 1 October, from 17 to 21! Have you ever found yourself in a dry wilderness, searching for a way forward? The journey through the desert is a necessary crucible. One must shrink, empty themselves, and shed their old skins like a snake before one can find their true purpose and step into their full potential. Working with air-dry clay, Niina Karhunen explores this raw transition through a stark, intentional contrast in forms, textures, and finishes. Having spent decades as a couturier, Karhunen now turns her advanced understanding of structural geometry toward the raw earth. Her current practice is a literal Couture of Flesh - an architectural tailoring of the human and animal forms stripped of external armor, exposed to the elements, and recast through the heat of the crucible. The Blue Verve 1.-11.10.2026 Tue-Sat: 14.00 – 18.00 Sun 14.00 – 17.00 Free entry

A Family Space Adventure
Helsinki Cathedral · Helsinki
Join us this October for a fun-filled family adventure featuring art, space-themed questions and activities! Throughout October, families can explore Helios, the spectacular artwork by British artist Luke Jerram, through a series of engaging activities. Helios is a highly detailed scale model of the Sun, presented at approximately 1:200 million scale. The artwork measures seven metres in diameter, with each centimetre representing 2,000 kilometres of the Sun's surface. Thanks to Helios, visitors can examine the surface of our nearest star up close. The imagery is based on 400,000 photographs of the Sun and incorporates observations collected by NASA. During this family-friendly space adventure, you will have the chance to marvel at the giant Sun, answer space-themed questions, and take part in creative activities inspired by space exploration. The adventure can be completed in two ways: a shorter version at Helsinki Cathedral only, or a longer route that takes explorers from Helsinki Cathedral to the Old Church. The Space Adventure is available throughout October, and you may complete it at any time that suits you. However, visits are recommended during the opening hours of the Cathedral Crypt, as some of the activities are located there. The Crypt is open Monday to Saturday from 10:00 to 17:00 and Sunday from 12:00 to 17:00. If you wish to visit the interior of the Old Church as part of the longer adventure, please complete the adventure between Tuesday and Friday from 12:00 to 15:00. The Space Adventure is designed for the whole family, although children below school age are recommended to take part together with an adult. Helsinki Cathedral 1.10.-1.11.2026 Adults 8€, under 18s free of charge. More detailed information on the Cathedral's website.

Igor Lora Romero: Developing Bodies in Space (2021)
Helsinki Central Library Oodi · Helsinki
Projection of the short animation Developing Bodies in Space (2021) by Igor Lora Romero Projection walls on the 1st floor of Oodi 5th to 30th October 2026 The film explores the relationships between body and mind, creator and creation. How can an individual create physical proof that their conscience existed in this very moment? A piece of paper is pressed against the skin so that its creases become a map, but something is lost in translation. Just as tridimensionality is incomprehensible for a surface, we are only able to understand our surroundings through our senses. What lies outside of our perception? How does it feel to be something (or someone) else outside of our body? The artist is a student of the Master in Fine Arts in the University of the Arts Helsinki. Inspired by introspection and concerns from everyday life, his pieces cover a range of topics such as personal identity,the human body or the search of beauty. Most recently he has been working with figurative paintings andhandmade models. Instagram: @tanelfu Developing Bodies is part of Oodi Media Art Exhibitions series 2026-2027.

Eeva-Liisa Puhakka and Raana Lehtinen
HAA Gallery · Helsinki
Eeva-Liisa Puhakka: Wild Blue (Hall 1) and Raana Lehtinen: Eternity in the Garden (Hall 2) Puhakka’s exhibition explores Latvian Blue cattle and Scandinavian mythology. In Lehtinen’s paintings, memories blend with new observations of the surroundings. The video of the blue cows is the first part of a three-part video work series. The blue cows and the old hides meet in these works at a time when questions of nature, the status of animals, and humanity's relationship to the environment are becoming ever more relevant." In Raana Lehtinen’s exhibition Eternity in the Garden, memories of youth intertwine with fresh observations of the surrounding environment. In oil and watercolour paintings, the everyday nature of the nearby landscape becomes a stage for something wondrous. Lehtinen grew up, and continues to live, in a suburb of Eastern Helsinki, and the settings of her paintings are consequently found in fragmented woodland and urban parks.

Zsuzsa Hullan: The Whole World Is a Stage
Liszt Institute · Helsinki
The photo series The Whole World Is a Stage (Színház az egész…) focuses on theatre and aims to lift the curtain on what happens behind the scenes, offering the general public a glimpse into the lesser-known side of the theatre world. The exhibition is curated by Vera Várszegi. “I am an actress. During performances and rehearsals, I see different situations, scenes and my colleagues from a perspective that is inaccessible to ordinary theatre-goers. When I fell in love with photography, I decided to bring these moments to light.” Zsuzsa Hullan is an actress at Budapest’s renowned Vígszínház theatre and a photographic artist. Her first solo exhibition was held in Budapest in 2019. Since then, her photographs have been featured in numerous exhibitions, including international ones, as well as in publications such as Premier magazine and National Geographic, following a recommendation from Kossuth Prize-winning photographer Éva Keleti. Hullan has also participated in several prestigious photography competitions, receiving numerous awards. Liszt Institute, Galleria U 25.9.-6.11.2026 Instead of an opening reception, there will be an artist talk and guided tour of the exhibition on 28.10 at 18.00: Registration form Mon-Fri 10.00-18.00 Free entry

Art exhibition: Valeria Azovskaya - Blooming under pressure
Kallio Library · Helsinki
Photography has long been my safe ground, a familiar lens for observing, capturing, and making sense of the world. A supportive foundation is essential when you first begin to create, providing the base needed to find your path. This exhibition marks an unfiltered point of shift in my journey as a visual artist. I am stepping away from familiar territory to explore painting and handcrafted techniques, using my photographic work not as a final destination, but as a starting point. Transitioning into a new medium comes with pressure, uncertainty, and no guarantees. Yet, when the drive for change and creative development takes over, being uncomfortable becomes the new normal. Growth requires learning to inhabit that unpredictable space, first with acceptance and later, hopefully, with confidence. The artworks on this wall reflect this exact process. To force myself out of my comfort zone, I gave myself a strict brief and deadline. I am using the pressure of this exhibition to create new work, directly from my photographic starting points. Without this self-imposed urgency, it would be too easy to stay where it is safe. Both completed and unfolding, these pieces represent a live experiment, a space where photography transforms into paint, and where both the visitor and I encounter the unexpected together. About an artist: Valeria Azovskaya is a designer and visual artist based and working in Finland, Helsinki, where she has lived and created for over 14 years. Her journey with photography began at age twelve, starting with her grandfather’s film camera and continuing with her first digital camera, purchased with her earliest earnings. Her artistic practice centers on theme-driven exploration, capturing moments of transformation, quiet dialogues, and evolving landscapes, whether urban, natural, or internal. Drawing on her professional background as a learning designer, she views art as an interactive space for discovery, investigating how we adapt, transform, and make se

Taidenäyttely: Anne Heinonen - Päivä apinatarhalla
Kallio Library · Helsinki
Päivä apinatarhalla -näyttely tuo Kallion kirjastoon valokuvia eteläafrikkalaiselta apinatarhalta. Tarhan kädelliset ovat aiemmin eläneet vankeudessa - eläintarhoissa, laboratorioissa, lemmikkeinä - ja opettelevat tarhalla jälleen olemaan apinoiksi. Kirjoittaja-kuvaaja Anne Heinonen teki tarhalla vapaaehtoistöitä parikymmentä vuotta sitten. Hän valokuvasi kapusiiniapinoita, jotta ne voitaisiin nimetä ja tunnistaa. Samalla hän kuvasi muita lajeja tarhan markkinointiin - ja pakahtui kädellisistä löytämästään inhimillisyydestä. Kuvat ovat osa laajempaa näyttelyä, joka kiersi kymmenen vuoden aikana useissa kaupungeissa. Avoinna 2.-30.10.

A Portrait of Finland on the Move
Helsinki Central railway station · Helsinki
Helsinki Central Railway Station and Suomen Kuvalehti are the same age. When the magazine began publication in 1916, construction of the railway station was still underway. Both shared the same goal: to connect Finns and provide access to new places. The newly independent Finland was curious. Finns explored cities across the country, from east to west. The North fascinated people, technology advanced, the population grew, and people moved to the cities. The covers of the 110-year-old Suomen Kuvalehti over the decades also serve as a mirror of the nation. Both those in power and ordinary Finns look out at the reader. There is joy as well as drama. Growing prosperity and increased mobility brought new experiences, yet the image of Finland still feels remarkably familiar. Finnish Civic Museum 18.9.-18.10.2026 Daily 6.00-24.00 Free entry

Vaikenemisen kielioppi
Vuosaaren tilajakamo · Helsinki
Vaikenemisen kielioppi on visuaalinen näyttämöteos Venäjän sukupuoli- ja seksuaalivähemmistöihin kuuluvien ihmisten kokemuksista 2010-luvulta tähän päivään. Se perustuu keskusteluihin Venäjällä elävien ja maasta lähteneiden sateenkaari-ihmisten kanssa – ihmisten, joiden elämässä identiteetti, läheisyys ja näkyväksi tuleminen ovat vähitellen muuttuneet yhä vaarallisemmiksi. 2010-luvulta lähtien LGBTQ+-identiteettien systemaattinen tukahduttaminen Venäjällä on johtanut tilanteeseen, jossa pelkkä olemassaolo voi olla rikos: julkinen ilmaisu, yhteisöt ja symbolit on kriminalisoitu, ja seurauksena ovat pidätykset, maanpako ja hiljaisuus. Mutta mitä hiljaisuudessa tapahtuu? Mitä jää sanomatta ystäville, perheelle, työpaikalla – ja itselle. Esityksen tekijät tutkivat hiljaisuutta ja sitä, mitä hiljaisuudessa tapahtuu. Teoksessa ei ole perinteistä juonta eikä näyttämöllä kerrota haastatteluja sellaisinaan. Haastattelujen tunnelmat, muistot ja sisäiset ristiriidat muuttuvat visuaaliseksi kollaasiksi: esineiksi, materiaaleiksi, nukeiksi, varjoiksi ja näyttelijöiden fyysiseksi ilmaisuksi. Sanat väistyvät, mutta tunteet tulevat näkyviksi. Teoksen ohjaa Venäjältä vuonna 2022 Saksaan lähtenyt venäläinen ohjaaja Roman Boklanov. Vuosaaren Tilajakamo, Helsinki 98 -näyttämö 29.9.-4.11.2026 Ensi-ilta 29.9. klo 19.30 Liput 20-35€ Fientasta, ikäsuositus 16+

Viljami Heinonen: Threshold
Galerie Forsblom · Helsinki
Viljami Heinonen’s latest exhibition opens onto a series of interiors. Despite their apparent decorativeness, a sense of heaviness hangs in the air. The atmosphere is motionless, and the silence feels oppressive. The absence of human figures is underscored by the traces they have left behind. At times, bodies come into view, yet their faces remain obscured, erasing any sense of human presence. Animals appear only as hides or trophies. The spatiality of each work keeps collapsing even as it is being constructed, just as the figurative and the abstract coexist within each gesture. The paintings are characterized by a powerful layering of both physical and temporal dimensions. Heinonen paints memories, and the locations he creates thus double as psychological spaces. Viljami Heinonen (b. 1986) graduated from Kankaanpää Art School in 2012. He has held solo exhibitions and participated in various group exhibitions. His work is held in collections incl. HAM Helsinki Art Museum, the Saastamoinen Foundation, Pori Art Museum, the Wihuri Foundation, and the State Art Deposit Collection. He received the William Thuring Prize in 2022, the Art of Basware Award in 2013, and the Marcus Collin Foundation’s Painting Prize in 2025. Threshold is Heinonen’s third solo exhibition at Galerie Forsblom, which has represented the artist since 2025.

Secrets Of Dreams
Galleria Kookos · Helsinki
Dreams, those fascinating worlds of the subconscious that implement their own laws, make almost everything possible. Dreams are born connected to history and the reality people experience while awake, but in a dream a world of its own opens up. Dreams freely move on to adventures that expand consciousness, crossing the boundaries of reality. Art also provides an opportunity to illustrate the dimensions of dreams.

Luke Jerram: Helios
Helsinki Cathedral · Helsinki
Helios is a seven-metre-scale model of the Sun created by British artist Luke Jerram, combining art, light and sound into a captivating artistic experience. Measuring seven metres in diameter, the artwork features 72dpi detailed imagery* of the Sun’s surface. At an approximate scale of 1:200 million, each centimetre of the internally lit spherical sculpture represents 2000km of the Sun’s surface. The installation is a fusion of solar imagery, sunlight and a specially created sound composition by Duncan Speakman and Sarah Anderson. Imagery for the artwork has been compiled using 400,000 photographs of the Sun provided by Astrophotographer Dr Stuart Green (taken between May 2018 to June 2024) and NASA observations of the Sun, with guidance from solar scientist, Professor Lucie Green of University College London (UCL). Helios follows on from Jerram’s previous astronomical artworks, Museum of the Moon, Gaia, and Mars. In Helsinki, Helios forms part of the Helsinki Cathedral Parish’s Let There Be Light! themed month, which explores mental wellbeing and mental health. Cathedral 1.10.-1.11.2026 The latest opening hours are available on Helsinki Cathedral’s website Admission fee 8€, under 18 yrs free entry

Alisa Javits: On Fear and Evil
Forum Box · Helsinki
Alisa Javits’ On Fear and Evil is a 25-minute short film exploring fear, evil and the relationship between the two. Through personal experiences, the film considers how fear can influence human actions and shape our understanding of good and evil. The film begins with a short reflective prologue and concludes with an epilogue. Between them, a series of anonymous interviews brings forward personal experiences of fear and evil – of the evil the interviewees have done themselves, as well as the evil they have experienced at the hands of others. Remaining anonymous, the interviewees speak from deeply personal experiences while raising questions that extend beyond the individual. Where is the boundary between fear and evil? Alongside the inner world of the human being, nature becomes another presence in the work. Its scale is different: nature exists independently of humanity, even as human beings remain dependent on it in many ways. Within this scale, the violence and evil of human history can appear small. On an individual level, however, evil can be immense. Alisa Javits is a visual artist and creative director whose works explore the experiences of human existence in this world. Alisa’s works are characterized by profound content and versatility. A recurring theme in her work is the contradiction between the inner and outer in people.

Eetu Huhtala: Going Nowhere
Forum Box · Helsinki
Split in two, lopsided, and always returning to the starting point. The exhibition Going Nowhere brings together works connected by thoughts of division, the distance forming between people, and the growing fragility of shared space. The exhibition consists of works made of steel and aluminium that borrow their forms and functions from large-scale objects and devices found in public spaces. Individual works are rooted in experiences of supporting structures disappearing, unevenness, and aimlessness. Throughout the works, however, there is a recurring sense of distance and of the impossibility of closing it. Eetu Huhtala (b. 1993, Äänekoski) is a sculptor living in Helsinki and working in Kerava. Huhtala’s practice consists of moving mechanical sculptures, large-scale metal sculptures, and multisensory works. His works are often based on familiar everyday objects, devices, or structures, which, through changes in their function or form, become connected to personal experiences and broader societal problems. Mechanical objects often become flawed in a distinctly human way. Forum Box 2.-25.10.2026 Tue-Sun 12.00-17.00 Free entry

Tero Pajukallio: Colours
Natural History Museum · Helsinki
Tero Pajukallio is a freelance photographer based in Helsinki. His work consists mainly of journalistic photography and the photography of various events. Nature photography became an important part of his work in the 2020s. In nature photography, he is particularly fascinated by mires, forests, and landscapes. – For this exhibition, I have selected especially photographs of mires because of the incredible colors they contain. When walking along boardwalks, the rich color palette of the mires is not apparent, but a drone reveals the full spectrum of colors. The images have been enhanced in terms of color saturation, so they should be regarded more as photographic art than as documentary photographs. Natural History Museum, café 18.8.-11.10.2026 The café follows the museum's opening hours and opens half an hour after the museum itself. Free entry

Johan Eichhorn: Creative Destruction
Natural History Museum · Helsinki
Johan Eichhorn’s Creative Destruction shifts human interventions in nature into the human living environment. Instead of forest roads cutting through woodlands, drainage drying out wetlands, and dams altering waterways, these elements appear in people’s homes and other everyday spaces. In the staged photographs, familiar environments become strange. At the same time, they make visible the ways we reshape nature – changes that have gradually become an almost unnoticed part of our daily lives. The exhibition does not aim to provide answers, but invites viewers to reflect on why we accept in nature things we would never accept in our own living environment.

Miisa Mäkeläinen: Lemmenlätäkkö
Galerie Forsblom · Helsinki
Miisa Mäkeläinen is a Helsinki-based painter whose motifs seem to hint at something familiar, yet resist any fixed interpretation. Soft shapes flow across the canvas, intertwining nature’s cycles with themes of embodiment. Nature comes to life in tree canopies, mycelia, root systems, leaf veins and meandering streams that pulsate, inhale, and exhale within the layers of paint. The picture plane disintegrates, figurative elements become camouflaged in the terrain, and ultimately metamorphose into something new. For Mäkeläinen, painting is a way of slowing down and being present. Rather than rushing her brush, she allows it to linger, taking time to work out small details within larger compositions. She now leaves layers visible that she previously would have painted over, allowing subtle transitions to emerge in the works. Meanwhile, her palette has acquired new depth, driven by her fascination with how colours that initially seem mismatched can be brought together to create harmony. Miisa Mäkeläinen (b. 1992) graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts at the University of the Arts Helsinki in 2025. She has held numerous solo and group exhibitions in Finland. Her works are held in the Finnish State Art Deposit Collections and other significant collections, incl. that of the Finnish Art Society.

Hannu Väisänen: Derrière les portes
Galerie Forsblom · Helsinki
Hannu Väisänen’s works often deal with everyday objects and occurrences, translating their intriguing details and distinctive features into the language of painting. The artist typically takes up a single theme and works on it for an extended period. This time, he found himself exploring a subject that literally invited him to cross the threshold and step inside: doors. While in India in 1996, Väisänen painted a water colour sketch of a Rajasthani door with an ornate frame and prayer flags. This year, that sketch caught the artist’s eye and inspired him to begin a new series of paintings exploring doors and gates. Väisänen explores the interplay of colours, as well as the rectangular shape of doors and their simultaneously abstract and figurative nature. Although the subject matter is figurative, the artist avoids creating any illusion of depth, instead allowing the paintings to exist purely on the surface of the picture plane. Hannu Väisänen is a multidisciplinary artist who works across many fields, incl. visual art, writing, set design, costume design, directing and illustration. His work is held in numerous Finnish public collections, and he has completed many public commissions. He was awarded the State Prize for Art and the Finlandia Prize for Literature in 2007, as well as the State Prize for Literature in 2015.

Veikko Ruuskanen: Boiler Rooms of the Imagination – Machines That Never Were
Cultural Centre Malmitalo · Helsinki
Opening at Malmitalo Gallery, Wed 23 Sep, 5–7 PM. Live performance by Timo Kaukolampi (K-X-P) at the opening. Free admission, all welcome! A sense of something left unfinished. Not abandoned, but lingering — echoes and fragments of forgotten narratives drifting toward one another, forming new constellations. This exhibition invites visitors into a world where industry meets imagination and forgotten machines acquire new life. Inspired by the aesthetics of industrial heritage and forgotten technologies, this immersive space explores the beauty of transformation, memory and decay. Drawing from the visual language of steampunk, Boiler Rooms of the Imagination pictures alternative histories and impossible inventions. Rusted surfaces, intricate machinery and dreamlike structures merge with organic forms, creating a space that feels both familiar and otherworldly. Together, the works celebrate craftsmanship, curiosity, and the strange comfort of technologies that led nowhere — a tribute to futures imagined, abandoned, and quietly kept alive. Veikko "Rudi" Ruuskanen (b. 1950s) is a Finnish self-taught (ITE) artist whose practice centres on the transformation of reclaimed materials into sculptural environments and installations, shaped by decades of work in sound and lighting. Influenced by the aesthetic qualities of vintage machinery, industrial infrastructure and forgotten technologies, he explores the meeting point of imagination, memory and material culture. Old factory interiors, boiler rooms, pipes and measuring instruments serve as recurring points of departure, while the work of Finnish artists Jani Hänninen and Elina Merenmies has informed the development of his atmospheric visual language. For nearly twenty years, Ruuskanen has also created immersive Christmas and Halloween installations for local communities, alongside his window displays for Tilauskonditoria Mayra in Tapanila.

Mirjam Yeboah: Emellan
Cultural Centre Caisa · Helsinki
Emellan is an immersive textile installation in which the body manifests as space, memory and shelter. Composed of textile sculptures and a soundscape, the exhibition invites visitors to step into a den-like space where personal memories, cultural heritage and embodied experiences intertwine. The work explores Afro-Finnish and Fante–Fenno-Swedish identity from an intersectional perspective. The suspended textile sculptures reflect complex ways of navigating the surrounding world and its expectations. The participatory elements of the exhibition invite visitors to experience the work with their whole bodies. Emellan creates a space where time is nonlinear and where connections to ancestors, community and personal memories exist simultaneously. The exhibition explores the layered nature of identity through sensory impressions, care and shared experiences. It asks what kinds of spaces we can create when diversity is not an exception, but a starting point. During the exhibition, three participatory workshops will be held in the installation space. Guided by the artist, participants can leave their own marks on the work. A guided tour of the exhibition will be held in Finnish Sign Language on Saturday October 10, 2026, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. Mirjam Yeboah is a Finnish-Ghanaian textile artist specialising in costume design and pedagogy. Their art often draws on the intersections of their own identities, as well as a decolonial approach. For them, textile is not only a medium, but a narrative element in itself – powerful and soft. That is why Mirjam is particularly interested in the relationship between body, mind and material.

Crazy Invalid – taidetta Kurjesta
Vuosaari House · Helsinki
Tervetuloa tutustumaan Toimintakeskus Kurjen asiakkaiden taidenäyttelyyn, jossa luovuus, huumori ja oman elämän kokemukset saavat näkyä ja kuulua. Toimintakeskus Kurki tarjoaa päivä- ja iltatoimintaa erityistä tukea tarvitseville, kehitysvammaisille, vaikeavammaisille ja autismikirjon henkilöille. Kurjessa taide ja kulttuuri ovat tärkeä osa arkea. Maalaaminen, musiikki, luovuus ja erilaiset kulttuuritoiminnot tarjoavat mahdollisuuden ilmaista itseään, kokeilla uutta ja tehdä asioita yhdessä. Tämän näyttelyn taiteilijat ovat Kurjen omia asiakkaita. Teoksia on syntynyt Kurjen iltaryhmässä sekä eri päivätoiminnan ryhmissä. Taiteilijat ammentavat aiheita omasta elämästään, kokemuksistaan ja ympäröivästä maailmasta. Teoksissa näkyy monenlaisia tunteita, ajatuksia ja näkökulmia – ja usein myös ripaus huumoria. Näyttelyn nimi ”Crazy Invalid” sai alkunsa yhden asiakkaan humoristisesta ideasta. Nimi kuvastaa hyvin näyttelyn rentoa ja ennakkoluulotonta henkeä: taiteessa saa olla hassuttelua, oivalluksia ja yllätyksiä. Näyttelyssä on mukana koko ikänsä taidetta tehneitä, ennenkin näyttelyihin osallistuneita, ja ensikertalaisia ja kaikkia siltä väliltä. Nimi Kurki on saanut alkunsa perustajien suvusta. Toiminta on alusta lähtien ollut pienimuotoista ja perheenomaista. Kurjessa halutaan, että jokainen voi tulla omana itsenään kohdatuksi, kuulluksi ja huomioiduksi. Voit tutustua toimintaan www.kurkikeskus.fi, FB, IG ja TIKTOK: Toimintakeskus Kurki tai ottaa yhteyttä info@kurkikeskus.fi Tule katsomaan, millaista taidetta syntyy, kun annetaan luovuudelle tilaa! Näyttely on esillä 5.-29.10.2026 Vuotalon 2. kerroksen vitriinikäytävässä. Tervetuloa avajaisiin 5.10.2026 klo 18:00–19:00!

Mandala projektin taidenäyttely
Community house Oulunkylän Seurahuone · Helsinki
Mandala on yleensä symmetrinen, ympyränmuotoinen kuvio, jolla on symbolinen tai meditatiivinen merkitys. Mandaloita käytetään erityisesti hindulaisuudessa ja buddhalaisuudessa kuvaamaan esimerkiksi maailmankaikkeutta, tasapainoa ja sisäistä rauhaa. Kangas Mandalan suunnittelu alkoi kuuden henkilön kanssa. Lidia Kivinen ohjauksessa ryhmä piirsi erilaisia mandaloita ja väri yhdistelmiä. Myöhemmin myös näitä piirustuksia hyödyntäen etsittiin erilaisista kangas vaihtoehdoista sopivia värejä ja kankaita mandalaan. Lidia jatkoi kuviosabluunoiden tekoa suunnitellun kuvion mukaan. Koko kesän jatkunut leikkaaminen ja ompelu on nyt valmis mandala, joka asetetaan Oulunkylän Seurahuoneen Charlotta salin seinälle tuomaan rauhaa ja tasapainoista tunnelmaa kaikille siellä kävijöille.

Caring for & Commoning the Urban Dark
Levyhalli Exhibition Hall · Helsinki
Darkness Library Suomenlinna is a wooden pavilion that gathers and shares residents’ site-specific knowledge of darkness in Suomenlinna. Developed within the Caring Commons research project, it explores how creative practices can strengthen human–nature relationships and contribute to sustainability transformation. It asks: How could a darker Helsinki support the well-being of people, wildlife, and nature? Can darkness be described as site-specific? How do darkness and environment support one another? What emerges in a place because of its darkness? The research is funded by the Nessling Foundation and conducted by postdoctoral researcher Gloria Lauterbach, NODUS Sustainable Design Research Group at Aalto University. The wooden pavilion is built in collaboration with the Department of Architecture, Aalto University. Levyhalli 1.9.–25.10.2026 1.–6.9. Daily 13.00–18.00 7.–30.9.

Isabella Chydenius
MUU Window · Helsinki
Isabella Chydenius: Depictions of nightly (club) corners The sculptures in this exhibition highlight elements of Chydenius research into safer space club culture and queer nightlife. The rigid square shapes reference heteropatriarchal norms that seek to control and contain people who challenge said norms, while simultaneously suggesting the outlines of a protected space for safety, community, and self-expression. The light inside the sculptures acts as a metaphor for the joy and empowerment created within nightclubs. As the light escapes the square’s boundaries, it symbolically challenges the limits imposed by oppressive structures. MUU Ikkuna 10.9.-1.11.2026 24/7 Free entry

Eero Yrjölä & Aleksi Kolmonen: When Our Sinful Souls Find an Angel in One Another
Photographic Gallery Hippolyte · Helsinki
Eero Yrjölä & Aleksi Kolmonen: When Our Sinful Souls Find an Angel in One Another "You tell me you dreamed of me and clouds. There was only me, smiling, and the clouds. I gently sink into the image you have painted of me as an angelic figure who looks upon the world with tenderness." The joint exhibition by Eero Yrjölä and Aleksi Kolmonen at Hippolyte Studio brings together photography, ceramics, and sound. The installation explores the essence of the angel through self-portraiture, playing with the abundance and emptiness of a nostalgic world of glossy picture cards. The angel in the exhibition is norm-defying, radical, and queer. Yrjölä and Kolmonen draw on traditional angel aesthetics while simultaneously challenging the worldviews and ideologies associated with them. Although the angel is a culturally recognisable figure, it seems to elude more precise definitions of time and place. The angel is fluid: shifting from one state of being to another and flying between alternative realities. For the artists, inner angelhood is a way of being – a conscious choice to experience the world through innocence and without shame. In artists' collaborative practice, authorship and different methods become intertwined. In the exhibition, a porcelain angel figure is given a fleshy counterpart.

Heli Heikkinen – Elämä väreissä
Myllypuro Senior Centre / Service Centre · Helsinki
Taidemaalari Heli Heikkisen Elämä väreissä -näyttely on esillä Myllypuron seniorikeskuksen Tauko-galleriassa 26.8. – 22.10.2026. Hän kuvaa teoksissaan kotikaupunkiaan Helsinkiä. Maalaukset käsittelevät ihmisiä ja nykyajan arkea, valoa, värejä: toivoa vastapainona maailman synkille uutisille. Elämä väreissä -näyttelyn teokset on valittu sillä ajatuksella, että ne toisivat iloa ja johdattaisivat katsojan omien kokemustensa ja muistojensa äärelle. ”Maalarinurani alkoi itsestäänselvästi abstraktina ekspressionistina. Ajan kuluessa aistihavainto ja ympäröivä moniuloitteinen todellisuus ovat muodostuneet yhä tärkeämmiksi: Tulkitsen maailmaa oman kädenjälkeni kautta värin ja viivan avulla” Heikkinen kuvaa työskentelyään. Heikkinen valmistui Suomen Taideakatemian koulusta vuonna 1985, mitä ennen hän opiskeli fysiikkaa ja matematiikkaa. Hänen teoksiaan on useissa yksityisissä ja julkisissa kokoelmissa kuten Kansallisgalleriassa ja Helsingin kaupungin taidemuseossa. Maalarintyönsä rinnalla Heikkinen on toiminut myös taideopettajana muun muassa Kuvataideakatemiassa ja Kriittisessä korkeakoulussa sekä vammaisten lasten ja nuorten parissa. Heli Heikkisen edellinen yksityisnäyttely Valon puolella oli esillä Galleria A2 -galleriassa Helsingissä 18.2. – 8.3.2026. Heli Heikkinen – Elämä väreissä, 26.8. – 22.10.2026.

art from Maunula Primary School
Maunula House · Helsinki
The neighbourhoods are depicted as green, rugged and inviting, full of meaningful nooks and crannies and places that evoke warm memories. The pupils have drawn inspiration from personal everyday moments: from the home yard, parks, school commutes, and shopping trips. With a special sense of warmth and a through a lens of nostalgia, many pupils have wanted to take a look at the old school building, from which they have moved to temporary premises for the duration of a renovation project. The exhibition offers a glimpse, through 44 works of art, into children’s diverse, endearing and at times even surprising ways of seeing their immediate surroundings. At the same time, it serves as a reminder of how important it is to give children’s art space to be seen. A child’s perspective is important, and every moment counts. Place: Lobby gallery

Architecture & Design Museum Helsinki · Helsinki
The exhibition invites visitors to explore Alvar, Aino and Elissa Aalto’s architecture and design from the perspective of wellbeing.

Daniel Kruger: Fragments of the Future
Gallery GAo ShAn · Helsinki
The first solo exhibition in Helsinki by internationally acclaimed South African-born artist Daniel Kruger (b. 1951) presents his distinctive jewellery and ceramic works. Kruger’s art brings together influences from his upbringing in South Africa and Namibia with decades of working in Germany – creating a dialogue between nature and culture, history and the present, and the precious and the everyday. Kruger is known for his fearless combinations of materials and techniques. Precious metals, gemstones and pearls may appear alongside glass, paper, textiles, pigments and found objects. His sculptural jewellery is at once made to adorn the body, to be touched and handled, and to exist as an autonomous work of art. In his ceramics, history, ornament and contemporary culture often take on unexpected and playful forms. Fragments of the Future explores memory, material and the layers of time. For Kruger, the past is not a closed archive but a living reservoir from which objects, forms and memories can enter new contexts and move towards the future. The exhibition invites us to look at familiar materials and objects from a new perspective – with sensuality, curiosity and an open mind.

A Photo Remains – A photographic overview of Ismo-Pekka Heikinheimo’s choreographies
Cultural Centre Stoa · Helsinki
This photography exhibition features photographs of Ismo-Pekka Heikinheimo’s choreographies, taken over five different decades. The themes of Heikinheimo’s dance works explore communication between people through movement, dance, spatiality, light, costumes and set design. The specific themes include gender, sexuality, the aesthetics of the body, the relationship between dance and architecture, and the way that the dancer interacts with light. Together with his collaborators, Heikinheimo has created several large-scale dance productions for the theatre hall of Cultural Centre Stoa, including the works Tule pian sillä näen tähtiä (1992), ToF (1998), Afrodisias (2000) and Paina Nappia! (2002), three of which premiered at the Helsinki Festival. The photos of the works were all taken by photographer Sakari Viika. Sakari Viika is one of the best-known Finnish photographers to have captured dance on film. The long-running collaboration between Viika and Heikinheimo began back in 1991 when he filmed the work Jokamiehen niksikirja, which was created for Dance Theatre Hurjaruuth. This collaboration has resulted in the documentation of almost 40 choreographies through photography. The photographs help to shed light on the history of Finnish dance. Examples of other photographers featured in the exhibition include Minna Hatinen, Matti Häyrynen and Risto Salmijärvi. *** Ismo-Pekka Heikinheimo is a veteran dance artist who has created over 60 choreographies, including three commissioned works for the Helsinki Festival and choreographies for international dance companies and festivals, and has toured the world, performing in 15 different countries from Namibia to Iceland.

Tiina Hallakorpi and Minna Raskinen:There's No Place Like Home
Cultural Centre Kanneltalo · Helsinki
This community art project draws parallels between the experiences of refugees and evacuees: what is it like to be forced to leave your home and build a new life in a new place? The departure comes as a surprise, the journey is difficult, you may face discrimination in your new surroundings, and homesickness gnaws at you. But then you settle in. The project involved interviews with Karelian evacuees and refugees, as well as their descendants. The interviewees also included immigrants who did not arrive here as refugees but are also unable to return home due to war or conflict. The exhibition showcases the participants’ stories in the form of works combining text and images, created by using a variety of techniques. Some of the participants also contributed to the works by sewing or embroidering. To counterbalance these harrowing stories, the exhibition features familiar and comforting household objects and textiles. The majority of Finnish people live in apartment buildings. For this reason, the exhibition space resembles the corridor of an apartment building, with access to the various themes of the exhibition via apartment doors. What sort of stories lie hidden behind those doors? The exhibition also includes the work Missä juuresi ovat (‘Where Are Your Roots’), in which the audience can take part. With the exception of a few existing themes, the music for this audio work was composed specifically for this exhibition. Kanteles, ouds, flutes and percussion instruments weave a multicultural soundscape. The sounds of home and its surroundings complete the work and fuel the listener’s own mental images. The audio work was also produced partially through music workshops. Concept, design and implementation of the exhibition: visual and community artist Tiina Hallakorpi Design, composition, recording and editing of the audio work: musician and composer Minna Raskinen The Kone Foundation has supported the project.

Sivuraide
Finnish National Theatre · Helsinki
Raiteet kolisevat, junavaunu vaappuu ja reittiin tottunut katsoo unisena, miten maisemat ikkunan takana vaihtuvat tutulla kaavalla. Täällä kaksi nuoruudenrakastettua törmää toisiinsa parinkymmenen vuoden jälkeen. Niin vaivaannuttava kuin tällainen kohtaaminen voisi olla, Elina päättää istua alas ja ottaa selvää, mitä Jönssin elämään todella kuuluu. Sivuraide tapahtuu kahden pysäkin välillä, katveessa, risteyksissä ja ei-kenenkään-maalla, jossa menneen on mahdollista lihallistua silmien eteen. Se on tunnistettava, hauska ja haikea tarina entisistä rakkauksista ja niistä elämistä, jotka eivät ihan toteutuneet, mutta melkein.

Katariina Nummisen ja Milja Sarkolan tulkinta Nobel-palkitun Imre Kertészin romaanista on kiehtova ja puhutteleva näyttämöpalapeli historiasta, muistista ja menneisyyden pitkästä varjosta. Kirjailija B on tehnyt itsemurhan. Arvoituksellisen B:n jälkeenjääneet paperit on saanut haltuunsa kustannustoimittaja Keserű (Janne Reinikainen), joka haluaisi julkaista ne. Edesmenneen kirjailijan jäämistöstä näyttää kuitenkin puuttuvan olennainen palanen, romaani, jonka olemassaolosta on vain epämääräisiä vihjeitä. Keserű lähtee jäljittämään mestariteosta, joka tuntuu haihtuneen olemattomiin. Kadonneen romaanin etsinnästä kehkeytyy Keserűlle pakkomielle, vuosia kestävä salapoliisimysteeri, johon sekoittuu yhä enemmän ihmisiä: ystäviä, läheisiä, kustannusväkeä, viranomaisia. Kaikkien kohtaloiden ja tarinoiden keskiössä on samaan aikaan läsnä- ja poissaoleva kirjailija B, jonka elämä ja kuolema kietoutuvat Euroopan viime vuosisadan katastrofeihin.

Koko tähänastisen elämänsä nuoret miehet ovat asuneet kahdestaan rivitalomurjussa Pohjois-Philadelphiassa. Lapsenkaltainen Phillip (Juho Uusitalo) ei koskaan poistu asunnosta, koska hän potee hengenvaarallista allergiaa. Tai niin ainakin hänen isoveljensä Treat (Pyry Nikkilä) väittää. Elämä ikkunan takana on Phillipille kiehtovaa, pelottavaa ‒ ja ehdottomasti kiellettyä. Epävakaa ja väkivaltainen Treat hankkii heille elannon rikoksilla. Eräänä iltana Treat tuo asunnolle humalaisen Haroldin (Petri Liski), jolla on mukanaan kallisarvoinen osakesalkku. Myös Harold on orpo, joka on viettänyt lapsuutensa laitoksessa. Treat ottaa Haroldin panttivangiksi aikomuksenaan vaatia miljoonalunnaat tämän ystäviltä. Pian paljastuu, ettei Harold olekaan ihan tavallinen kaduntallaaja, eivätkä sitä ole myöskään Haroldin oletetut ystävät.

Esitys on Leskisen demokratia-aiheisen esityssarjan itsenäinen neljäs osa, jonka edeltäjä oli huippusuosittu Ensimmäinen tasavalta (2022).

Se on tarina kansakunnasta, joka vastoin kaikkia todennäköisyyksiä kykeni torjumaan itseensä kohdistuneet uhat, sopimaan keskinäiset riitansa ja samalla rakentamaan tasa-arvoisen, kaikki kansalaiset huomioon ottavan hyvinvointiyhteiskunnan.

Paper Stars – Paper Dolls by Rauni Palonen
Tamminiemi · Helsinki
Paper Stars – Paper Dolls by Rauni Palonen, 1968–1982 Tamminiemi features a nostalgic glimpse into the world of celebrities and popular culture of President Kekkonen’s era. The small-scale exhibition showcases paper dolls drawn by fashion artist and editor Rauni Palonen (b. 1929). Originally published in Apu magazine between 1968 and 1982, these drawings depicted the most celebrated stars of the era: beauty queens, singers, actors, television personalities, athletes, and even royalty from neighbouring countries. Palonen would produce weekly sketches of celebrities, complete with outfits tailored to the latest fashion trends. For many, these paper stars were treasured toys. They were carefully cut out, glued to cardboard, accessorised with handmade outfits, and preserved with care. Several of these paper stars were also a familiar sight at Kekkonen’s home in Tamminiemi or at the Independence Day reception at the Presidential Palace. Paper Stars is a tribute to the long and distinguished career of fashion editor Rauni Palonen, whose paper dolls were known to the entire nation in her time. The collection donated by Palonen to the Finnish Heritage Agency’s Picture Collections contains a total of 207 paper stars. In this small-scale exhibition, approximately 80 figures are on display, featuring both digitised versions and original drawings. Tamminiemi 17.4.2026-9.1.2028

Bálvvosbáiki is an audiovisual concert in which the Sámi yoiks (luohtis) performed by Ánnámáret intertwine with Turkka Inkilä’s nuanced electronic music, Ilkka Heinonen’s gritty and partially effected jouhikko, and Marja Viitahuhta’s video art combining animation, archival footage, and material filmed in Sápmi. The luohtis reflect how the Sámi worldview manifests in the present day, while the concert also touches on themes of colonialism and environmental awareness. Are the female deities Sáráhkka, Juhksáhkka and Uksáhkka still present? Can the power of a sieidi be experienced through yoiking? What does intergenerational sorrow feel like?

Barley Porridge and Crispbread
Hotel and Restaurant Museum · Helsinki
Barley Porridge and Crispbread – The Story of Finnish School Meals Barley Porridge and Crispbread – The Story of Finnish School Meals takes visitors on a journey more than a century back in time. Free meals were originally introduced to encourage children from low-income families to attend school and to secure their nutritional needs during the school day. In 1943, Finland expanded the free school meal into a universal right for every pupil – the first country in the world. School meals became a symbol of the Finnish welfare state and its commitment to equality, wellbeing and learning. The exhibition highlights the history of school meals and the memories connected to them across different decades. Over more than 80 years, the free meal has touched countless Finns and shaped their understanding of community, nutrition and everyday school life. From humble porridges to today’s responsible, nutritious and socially significant meal service, the journey has been long. The exhibition is produced in collaboration by The Finnish Museum of Agriculture and the Hotel and Restaurant Museum. Hotel and Restaurant Museum 18.9.2026-29.8.2027 Admission fee 0-16€

The Peacock in the Garden
Sinebrychoff Art Museum · Helsinki
The Peacock in the Garden – Mathias Withoos and Rome Like many of his colleagues, the painter Mathias Withoos joined the Bentvueghels during his stay in Rome around 1648–1653. Rome can be seen in his art in the landscapes, which he framed with abundant plant motifs. In his signature still-life paintings, undergrowth teeming with life is combined with elements from a sublime urban landscape. In his oeuvre he repeatedly returned to Roman and Italian influences. The Bentvueghels group sprang up among Dutch and Flemish artists in Rome around 1620, and the community continued in existence for a century, until 1720. They were boisterous revellers who spent time in close-knit togetherness in their new city. But being in Rome was about more than just carousing. They took art making and artistic development seriously. The members of the Bentvueghels were especially keen on drawing and painting in the open air. The artists wanted to learn from the Italian masters, and also sought out new views in the city. The group included, among others, Caspar van Wittel (1653–1736), Jan Both (1618–1652) and Cornelis van Poelenburgh (1594–1667), whose works are in this exhibition.

Anna Sinebrychoff - Ahead of Her Time
Sinebrychoff Art Museum · Helsinki
Anna Sinebrychoff (1830–1904) had a bourgeois girl’s education, married the successful businessman Paul Sinebrychoff (1799–1883) in 1850, and they had four children. On her husband’s death, she attained a position that was rare for a woman in Finland, as majority shareholder and chair of the board of a large company. In the latter half of the 19th century, she became the most important woman in the prominent Sinebrychoff Brewery clan. She resolutely led the family and kept a close eye on the work of her two sons as they managed the company. She was the undisputed matriarch and a revered grandmother. Anna Sinebrychoff died in 1904. The numerous obituaries noted her extensive charitable work. The exhibition offers a broad overview of Anna’s life and work in Helsinki from the 1850s onwards. At its core is Anna Sinebrychoff the active influencer: bearer of responsibility for the family and business, benefactor, prominent figure in associations and societies, and member of the Orthodox congregation.

Elin Danielson-Gambogi
Didrichsen Art Museum · Helsinki
This exhibition delves into the bold and multifaceted world of the beloved artist Elin Danielson-Gambogi (1861–1919). Her works reveal the artist’s exploration of the roles of woman, artist, and individual at the crossroads of two cultures, and how she built her identity through art at a time when women were not yet allowed that right. Danielson’s self-portraits, intimate depictions of everyday life, and the tensions within her gazes tell a story of self-discovery and the defense of one’s own voice – themes that continue to resonate today.

Circus is an art form where the impossible becomes reality and the audience can feel the thrill in their bones. Acrobatics, magic, and humor speak without words, and clowns remind people of their humanity. The story of Finnish circus began in the 19th century, when international troupes started visiting Finland. Finnish circus is the world of legendary personalities, international adventures, the joy of circus enthusiasts, absurd storytelling — and thousands of hours of sweaty practice. Since the 1990s, new ideas have emerged alongside traditional circus: influences have been drawn from contemporary dance, popular culture, music, and visual arts. In the 2000s, contemporary circus groups and artists have successfully taken their performances to stages around the world, making Finland an internationally respected country in the field of contemporary circus. The characters and stories of Finnish circus history, traditional circus, and contemporary circus run side by side throughout the exhibition. Theatre Museum 10.10.2025-10.1.2027 Tue-Fri 11.00–19.00 Sat-Sun 11.00–18.00 Admission fee 6-16€

Daniel Arsham: Prometheus Bound
Makasiini Contemporary · Helsinki
The American artist Daniel Arsham creates interdisciplinary art firmly situated in the world. As the artist himself states, “I make things I want to see exist in the world.” Arsham’s sculptures often resemble eroded artifacts or fragmented monuments, blurring the boundaries between art, architecture and design. Makasiini Dialogues The walls are filled with art and the space with conversation as Makasiini Dialogues becomes part of the opening nights. Guided by a moderator, the conversation explores the newly opened exhibitions, the artists’ practices and perspectives, and broader questions surrounding contemporary art today. Following the conversation, the dialogue continues informally with the artists in their exhibition spaces. For the next Makasiini Dialogue, Daniel Arsham will be in conversation with moderator Roland-Philippe Kretzschmar (The Art Bystander) at 18.00, on the occasion of Arsham’s exhibition opening.

The menu features four different French oysters, as well as a three-oyster French Coast tasting that travels from Normandy through Brittany to Marennes-Oléron.

Elolliset
Helsinki City Theatre · Helsinki
Iida Turpeinen – WAUHAUS – Pipsa Lonka ELOLLISET ”Stellerinmerilehmä, Stellers sjöko, Hydrodamalis gigas: Eläimistä ensimmäinen, joka pakotti ihmisen katsomaan itseään.” Helsingissä, luonnontieteellisen museon näyttelysalissa seisoo stellerinmerilehmän luuranko. Matka sinne on kulkenut vuosisatojen halki ja maapallon poikki. Näiden luiden historiaan on kasautunut sarja hetkiä, joihin kietoutuu niin imperialismin kuin modernin luonnonsuojeluaatteen historia. Elolliset kuljettaa katsojan erään tutkimusmatkan kautta sukupuuton käsitteen syntyhetkiin. Esitys piirtää esiin, miten länsimaiselle ihmiselle valkeni se musertava tosiasia, että voimme halutessamme pyyhkiä pois elävien kirjoista niin yksittäisiä elollisia kuin kokonaisia lajeja. Näyttämöllä rakentuvan ja purkautuvan museon vitriinien kautta eteemme aukeaa näkymä aikojen taakse, missä kuudennen sukupuuttoaallon ensimmäiset väreet alkavat lyödä kaukaiselle rannalle. Elolliset katsoo kuudennen sukupuuttoaallon tapahtumista syyllistämättä, mutta vastuuta väistämättä. Se tarkastelee hauskalla ja kaihoisalla katseella omaan älyynsä luottavaa ihmistä ja kuumeista oikean tiedon etsintää. Esitys saa kysymään mitä ovat ne käsitykset, joita meidän aikamme pitää ehdottoman varmoina ja luonnollisina, mutta jotka tulevat aikakaudet vielä osoittavat vääriksi? Iida Turpeisen romaani Elolliset on kaikkien aikojen menestynein suomalainen esikoisromaani. Teos ilmestyi vuonna 2023 ja voitti Helsingin Sanomien esikoiskirjapalkinnon, oli ehdolla Finlandia-palkinnon saajaksi, ylsi New York Timesin historiallisen fiktion lukusuosituslistalle ja sen käännösoikeudet on tällä hetkellä myyty lähes 30 kielialueelle. Romaanin on näyttämölle dramatisoinut Pipsa Lonka ja teoksen taiteellisesta suunnittelusta vastaa WAUHAUS -kollektiivi. WAUHAUS on Helsingistä käsin toimiva palkittu monitaiteinen kollektiivi, joka tunnetaan kokonaisvaltaisesta audiovisuaalisesta näyttämöestetiikastaan sekä jaetun tekijyyden toimintamalleistaan.

Between Earth and Sky
Galleria Dromig · Helsinki
Between Earth and Sky brings together two distinct forms of visual expression. One opens up the landscape, while the other fills it with life. Together, they invite the viewer to enter a natural world where openness and abundance complement one another. The paintings of Heidi Heinonen and Maj Sjö approach nature from different perspectives, yet share a common foundation. Both artists work intuitively, building their paintings through layers and placing a strong trust in colour – in its subtle nuances as well as its powerful contrasts. Maj Sjö’s works unfold as spaces in which colour, light and form are experienced as moods rather than recognisable landscapes. Heidi Heinonen, in turn, creates lush botanical worlds inspired by a longing for nature’s abundance and richness of colour. The paintings do not depict a particular season as observed, but rather an experience of nature shaped by memory, anticipation and imagination. Although the artists’ visual languages are distinct, their works are united by the constant presence of nature, an intuitive approach to painting and a desire to interpret the world around them. The exhibition invites us to pause and experience nature – not through predetermined answers, but through our own observations and experiences. Heidi Heinonen Heidi Heinonen works with acrylic paint. Her works often develop through a lengthy process in which colours, forms and layers gradually find their own order. Music is an important starting point for her painting, with its rhythm and atmosphere guiding the development of each work. Heinonen is particularly interested in the ability of colour to convey experiences and emotional states without relying on overly representational storytelling. Maj Sjö Maj Sjö works primarily in oils. Her practice is guided by observations and experiences inspired by nature, particularly the sea and the Finnish archipelago. Sjö’s paintings combine the sensuous materiality of oil paint with an intuitive approach, allowing ea

Niina Lahtinen – Joonas Nordman KOTIJOUKOT Elämännälkäinen avovaimo Anna (Niina Lahtinen) haluaisi diplomi-insinöörimieheltään Mikolta (Joonas Nordman) leikkisyyttä, ja sitä myöten piristystä urautuneeseen parisuhteeseen. Mikko, suomalainen mies, kokee kuitenkin järkevämmäksi olla se vakaa arkiaikuinen. Tarina käynnistyy, kun rakkautta ja seikkailuja janoava Anna pettyy viimeisen kerran miehensä nihkeilyyn ja kuivan viiltävään sarkasmiin. Hän päättää lopettaa parisuhteen. Naapurin viriili pariskunta (Emilia Sinisalo ja Jarkko Pajunen) haluaa auttaa ystäviään säilyttämään liittonsa, ja järjestää heidät porukalla eliittijoukkokouluttajien parisuhdeleirille. Millainen sankari on ultramacho sotilaskouluttaja (Sauli Suonpää) ja millaiseen sotkuun joutuu Mikko, joka toisaalta haluaa pelastaa liittonsa, mutta toisaalta ei voi sietää punnertamista ja sotaleikkejä? Tapahtumiin tunkee nenänsä totta kai myös yhden osallisen äiti (Sanna Saarijärvi) sekä lopulta myös poliisi (Helena Haaranen). Luvassa on Suomen hauskimpien näyttelijöiden huippuunsa viritettyä tilannekomediaa, vauhtia ja hikeä, räjähdyksiä, raivoa ja rakkautta. Siskonpeti-sarjastakin tutut, monesti palkitut komediantekijät, näyttelijä-käsikirjoittajat Niina Lahtinen ja Joonas Nordman sekä ohjaaja Anna Dahlman ovat luoneet hysteerisen hauskan, uuden parisuhdekomedian Rooleissa: Niina Lahtinen, Joonas Nordman, Jarkko Pajunen, Emilia Sinisalo, Helena Haaranen, Sanna Saarijärvi, Sauli Suonpää Kirjailijat: Niina Lahtinen, Joonas Nordman Ohjaus: Anna Dahlman Dramaturgi: Sanna Niemeläinen Lavastus: Antti Mattila Pukusuunnittelu: Riia Parviainen Valosuunnittelu: Petteri Heiskanen Äänisuunnittelu: Eero Niemi Naamioinnin suunnittelu: Maija Sillanpää

Fretti Mercury Etsii Onnea
Theatre Studio Pasila · Helsinki
Miika Nousiainen - Marzi Nyman - Mariska FRETTI MERCURY ETSII ONNEA Fretti Mercury etsii onnea on syvänmielen musikaali ystävyydestä ja onnen etsimisestä. Alakuloinen Fretti Mercury houkuttelee ystävänsä Jänis Virtasen etsimään onnea. Huikeaksi seikkailuksi osoittautuvan matkan varrella he kohtaavat monia eri tavalla onnellisia otuksia, mutta heitä itseään onni ei tunnu koskaan tavoittavan. Löytyykö apu onnen löytämiseen Jon Bon Ovin viisaudesta, Kirva Babitzinin täsmällisestä innokkuudesta, Hiiri Äitee Rantasen reippaudesta, Tessu Redfordin sitkeästä letkeydestä, Pöllö Miljoonan kapinallisuudesta, Naula Vesalan täydellisestä terävyydestä vai kenties Karitsa Mattilan kauniista lauluäänestä? Ja riittääkö ystävysten rohkeus mennä läpi pelottavasta ja pimeästä Tunneli Jäätteenmäestä onnen löytääkseen? Myös maailman paras yksityisetsivä Seiti Etsivä tulee vihdoinkin ulos pakastimestaan auttamaan ystävyksiä tavoitteessaan. Musikaalin uskomattoman kekseliäästä musiikista vastaavat säveltäjänä Marzi Nyman ja sanoittajana Mariska. Musiikista löytyy tasoja kaiken ikäisille katsojille, ja teksti on täynnä Miika Nousiaisen omaperäistä kielellistä ilottelua. Lastensa mukana katsomoon tulleet vanhemmat löytävät hahmojen nimellisistä esikuvista ammentavia piirteitä eri kappaleista. Näytelmän teeman mukaisesti myös kappaleiden sisällä kulkevat käsi kädessä sekä hillitön hauskuus että riipivä haikeus. Mutta onko onni koko ajan etsijän sisällä vai onko se jotain sellaista, jonka voi laittaa vaikkapa kirjahyllyyn näytille? Esitys perustuu Miika Nousiaisen ja Sanna-Mari Pirkolan samannimiseen vuonna 2020 ilmestyneeseen lastenkirjaan.

Soulmaidens
Finnish National Opera and Ballet · Helsinki
Is a woman who treads her own path still too much or too little? Soulmaidens, which blends contemporary puppet theatre, electronic sound design and baroque imagery, is a new stage interpretation of Claudio Monteverdi’s music theatre. The Italian composer Monteverdi is regarded as one of the earliest opera composers in history. Soulmaidens draws on his works Il ballo delle ingrate and L’Arianna, which premiered in 1608 at the wedding celebrations of Francesco Gonzaga and Margherita of Savoy. In both works, women are seen to transgress against patriarchy: Arianna loves too much, while the women of Il ballo delle ingrate love too little.

Forgotten Island (7) – Kino Helios
Cultural Centre Malmitalo · Helsinki
The best friendship is worth fighting for. DreamWorks Animation has previously brought audiences stories of unforgettable bonds between a boy and a dragon in the How to Train Your Dragon films, between an ogre and a donkey in the Shrek films, and between a robot and a gosling in The Wild Robot. Now, get ready for a moving story about two best friends who must join forces when faced with the threat of separation in the film Forgotten Island. The new original story was written and directed by Oscar nominee Joel Crawford in collaboration with Januel Mercado. The producer is Oscar nominee Mark Swift. The same team also worked on the film Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Grammy and Oscar-winning superstar H.E.R. and Liza Soberano (Lisa Frankenstein, Alone/Together) star as Jo and Raissa, a pair of high school graduates. They have been best friends since primary school, but now life threatens to separate them. While celebrating their last evening together, Jo and Raissa come across a mysterious portal that transports them to the mystical island of Nakali. The island is full of magical and mythical creatures that the friends’ Filipino families have been telling stories about. Their new acquaintances include both friends and foes. With the help of Raww (Dave Franco), a well-meaning but rather hapless were-aspin, and a small but feisty group of other pals, Jo and Raissa take on the terrifying Manananggal (Tony Award-winning icon Lea Salonga), the island’s most feared creature. Upon realising that the price of returning home is losing all of their shared memories, Jo and Raissa must find a way to escape the island without forgetting each other. Age rating: 7 Duration: 109 min Premiere: 9 October 2026 Language: spoken in Finnish The feature presentation contains sequences of flashing lights that may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy or other photosensitivities.

Nuorten elokuvakerho
Cultural Centre Malmitalo · Helsinki
Tervetuloa Malmitalon nuorten elokuvakerhoon! Kurssi on suunnattu elokuvista kiinnostuneille 15–18 -vuotiaille nuorille. Elokuvakerhon tapaamisissa katsotaan nuorten itse valitsemia elokuvia ja puretaan niitä yhteisen keskustelun äärellä. Keskusteluissa syvennetään suhdetta yhdessä katsottuun elokuvaan keskustelemalla sen aiheista, teemoista ja elokuvan herättämistä tunteista. Samalla keskustelu voi edistää ymmärrystä audiovisuaalisen kerronnan keinoista, elokuvien tekemisestä ja mahdollisesti myös elokuvahistoriasta. Tavoitteena kerhossa on yhdessä oppiminen rennon ja uteliaan keskustelun kautta, ei luentomainen opiskelu. Elokuvakerho kokoontuu neljästi, ja ohjelmaan valitaan nuorten toiveiden mukaan kolme pitkää elokuvaa. Ensimmäistä kertaa kerho kokoontuu lauantaina 10. lokakuuta, jolloin tutustutaan kerholaisten kesken ja sovitaan syksyn ohjelmasta. Tämän jälkeen seuraa kolme elokuvien katsomiselle ja keskustelulle omistettua kerhokertaa: lauantait 24. lokakuuta, 31. lokakuuta ja 7. marraskuuta. Avoin elokuvanäytös ja kerhon keskustelu järjestetään kunakin kurssikertana klo 15–18. Kurssin ohjaajana toimii elokuvatutkimuksen maisteri Aatos Ketvel.

Funky Fossils forever – 10 years of hip hop
Cultural Centre Kanneltalo · Helsinki
The Funky Fossils Collective’s 10th-anniversary celebration features choreographies created for the group and collaborative productions from over the years, as well as a new anniversary choreography. The Funky Fossils Collective celebrates the diversity of dance and invites people of all ages to come and dance and be inspired at a new kind of dance event: It is never too late to start! Funky Fossils emerged out of dance classes run by dancer and choreographer Njara Rasolomanana in 2016. Since then, the hip-hop group has performed at his dance school’s shows at various events. In recent years, the group’s season has culminated in a Christmas show at Dance House Helsinki. In 2024, the Funky Fossils Crew became an independent collective operating as a network of adult hip-hop dance enthusiasts. Its aim is to enable as many street dance enthusiasts as possible to dance, become part of the community and create projects that reflect their own personalities. The titular fossils are born out of fusions of different dance styles, and the group has combined hip-hop with genres such as Afro dance, folk dance and jazz dance, under the guidance of choreographers. The movement language of the dancers in the Fossil group shows influences from various styles of hip-hop: breakdancing, locking, house and popping. At the heart of it all, however, is having fun and spending time together. The group has collaborated with the folk dancers from Huffen (Haga Ungdomsföreningen r.f.), and at the gala event, the groups are set to perform a joint piece entitled Gemensam flamma/Yhteinen liekki. The work combines the movement languages of hip-hop and folk dance. In 2023, the group staged a performance combining waacking and Afro dance, in collaboration with DiAfro from the MaDance dance school. In addition to Njara Rasolomanana, the group’s choreographies have been created by artists such as Jérémy Gaudibert (France), Mass (Sweden/Tanzania), Samantha Tena Hernandez (the Netherlands) and Augusto

Welcome to Nomads Festival for an unforgettable evening of music at Stoa. Free entry! Arrive early: limited number of seats available. Schedule: 18.00 – DJ Bunuel 18.30 – Aizhan Sultan 19.30 – DJ Bunuel 20.15 – Hildá Länsman & Tuomas Norvio 21.15 – DJ Bunuel Singer, songwriter and doctoral researcher Aizhan Sultan invites the audience for a sonic journey between Kazakh nomadic traditions and contemporary soundscapes. Originally from Kazakhstan and now based in Finland, her work draws from both traditional and modern Kazakh music, reflecting personal, political and social experiences shaped across cultures. Her artistic practice engages in decolonisation in Central Asia and radical inclusion. As a woman living with achondroplasia, she explores power both as oppression and solidarity, positioning art as a force of emancipation. Her performance combines traditional Kazakh singing, throat singing and the sound of the shanqobyz (jaw harp) with live electronics by Saku Liimatainen and drums by Vilho Louhivuori, bridging nomadic heritage with contemporary Finnish sound. The evening culminates in a performance by Hildá Länsman & Tuomas Norvio, who explore the intersection of the ancient Sámi vocal tradition of luohti (joik) and modern electronic soundscapes. Hildá Länsman, from Ohcejohka in the northernmost Sápmi region of Finland, is a singer, joiker and musician dedicated to Sámi culture. Tuomas Norvio, a Finnish sound designer and composer, creates electronic textures where urban sensitivity meets northern identity. Together they create music that exists between past and future, tundra and dance floor. The atmosphere throughout the evening is shaped by DJ Bunuel, a pioneer of Finnish rhythmic music, whose eclectic sets blend jazz, urban rhythms and global sounds. Come experience the unifying power of music!

Paula, Eini, Erika ja Sirkka – neljä seitsemänkymppistä leskinaista, ystävykset, Kurtturuusut. Naiset jakavat yhdessä elämäänsä, ja jaettavaa riittää. He eivät jää vaivojansa valittelemaan, vaan elävät itsensä näköistä elämää, nauttivat täysillä ja pitävät hauskaa yhdessä. Mutta jotain puuttuu. Rakkaus. Kurtturuusut syöksyvät rakkauden etsintään rohkeasti, sillä jos haluaa jotain tehdä, se on tehtävä nyt. Naiset alkavat tapailla erilaisia miehiä, joukossa niin vanhoja tuttuja kuin netin kautta löytyneitä uusia tuttavuuksia. Syntyy draamaa, komiikkaa, elämää. Kurtturuusut on hehkuva ystävyyden ylistys ja korkealle kohotettu malja ikääntymisen iloille ja elämän kaikille sävyille! Näytelmä perustuu Pirjo Tuomisen samannimiseen myyntimenestysromaaniin (Tammi 2024), ja sen dramatisoi ja ohjaa Miika Muranen.

Collage – Stage of Things
Teater Viirus · Helsinki
Four artists are invited to Viirus to create a performance together. They are strangers to each other. They come from different artistic backgrounds. The artists collaborate, challenge and influence one another, trying to find new connections in this messy era. Instead of compromising, they decide to collide and find ways to be present in each others’ work of art – it is fun, tragic and ridiculous at the same time. They call it a living collage. This is possibly the beginning of something unknown, a new era that is still to be discovered. The invited artists are choreographer Jenni-Elina von Bagh (FIN), multidisciplinary artist Majula Drammeh (SE), visual and performance artist Nastja Säde Rönkkö (FIN), and theatre director Gosia Wdowik (PL). Collage – stage of things is a multidisciplinary piece that challenges individualism, separation and ownership. It places collaboration, in all its messiness and potential, at the center of the stage. Viirus 10.10.-4.12.2026 Performances: 10.10./13.10./15.10./16.10./20.10./22.10./23.10./24.10./ 29.10./3.11./4.11./5.11./10.11./13.11./17.11./19.11./20.11./ 24.1./26.11./27.11./1.12./2.12./4.12. at 18.30 14.11. at 13.00 Tickets 5-36€ from Fienta, duration 2 h, age recommendation 16+

Poiskatsojat
KOM Theatre · Helsinki
Tapahtumat Gazassa järkyttävät maailmaa. Poliitikot ja media sulkevat silmänsä. Tavalliset kansalaiset kokevat voimattomuutta. Mistä kaikessa on kyse? KOM-teatterin syksyn uutuusteos on suora ja hätkähdyttävä reportaasi siitä, miksi länsimaat katsovat pois silloin, kun pitäisi puuttua. Mustan huumorin sävyttämä esitys tarjoaa faktapohjaista tietoa jokaiselle, joka on tuntenut hämmennystä maailmanpolitiikan äärellä. Ohjaaja Susanna Kuparinen on moninkertaisesti palkittu käsikirjoittaja, journalisti ja dokumenttiteatterin suunnannäyttäjä, jonka aiemmat työt ovat ravistelleet niin päättäjiä kuin katsojia. Hänen teoksissaan teatteri on tiedonvälittäjä ja kansalaiskeskustelun areena. Nyt Kuparinen tuo näyttämölle yhdessä toimittaja Maria Petterssonin ja KOM-teatterin ensemblen kanssa ehkä rohkeimman teoksensa. Siinä luhistuva maailmanjärjestys ja suomalaiset poliitikot tunkeutuvat uutisruutujen välityksellä suoraan ohjaajan olohuoneeseen. Tarkkaan journalistiseen taustatyöhön nojaava esitys tekee monimutkaisista tapahtumista ymmärrettäviä purevan farssin ja satiirin keinoin. Näyttämöllä nähdään Geoffrey Erista, Tommi Eronen, Tuuli Paju ja Hanna Raiskinmäki. KOM-teatteri 7.9.-5.12.2026 Esitykset: https://kom-teatteri.fi/ohjelmisto/poiskatsojat/ Liput 19-46€, kesto 2,5 h, ikäsuositus 15+ Esitys on suomenkielinen

Soteorpo
Theatre Avoimet Ovet · Helsinki
Markku (Heikki Kujanpää) ja Pirjo (Ella Pyhältö) odottavat eläkepäiviään täynnä yhteisiä suunnitelmia. Arki alkaa kuitenkin murentua, kun Pirjo huomaa Markun käytöksessä huolestuttavia muutoksia: muistamattomuutta, äkillisiä tunteenpurkauksia ja hallitsematonta toimintaa. Aviokriisin kärjistyessä Markku saa Alzheimer-diagnoosin – ja Pirjon elämä muuttuu peruuttamattomasti. Hänestä tulee omaishoitaja. Minna Lindgrenin samannimiseen romaaniin perustuva Soteorpo on humoristinen mutta armoton kuvaus muistisairauden vaikutuksista parisuhteeseen ja yksilön asemaan yhteiskunnassa.
