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. Take a look at the festival's programme! > Finland's largest children's book festival will be held in Annantalo between October 2026 and February 2027.

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

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!

For the Sake of Art – Exhibition at the Vuosaari Artists’ House
Vuosaari House · Helsinki
This exhibition features a diverse selection of works by residents of the artists’ residence. Helsinki’s 450th-anniversary artists’ residence was completed in 2003 in Aurinkolahti, Vuosaari, and a large group of professionals from various artistic fields moved in. Over the years, the building has become a significant community for many of its residents, enabling them to focus on creative work and interaction. 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.

Suomenlinna Library · Helsinki
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!

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.

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.

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.

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+

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).

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

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.

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

Häiriköt-päämaja & Eläinoikeusakatemia: Reality as We Don't Know It
Cultural Centre Stoa · Helsinki
Animals are in front of you, behind you, on top of you and inside you. You may not see them, but they can see you. Although many times as many members of other species are reared and slaughtered each year around the world and in Finland as there are humans, our attention is focused almost exclusively on humans. This exhibition by Häiriköt-päämaja and Eläinoikeusakatemia draws attention to places we usually prefer not to look. And as we look at the others, we realise that they have been watching us the whole time. In the exhibition, works by Jari Tamminen, Laura Gustafsson, Ville Salervo and Hanna Kukko explore the theme through means such as counter-advertisements, production equipment used in the animal industry and comic book techniques.

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

Finnish National Youth Theatre: if you ask us
Finnish National Theatre · Helsinki
The National Youth Theatre is a group of young theatre makers who challenge the understanding of who is allowed to make theatre and who it is for. The group includes performers from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Finland, Kurdistan, Somalia and Syria, who work together with experienced artists. The script is based on material produced by the young people. "if you ask us is not based on a play or ready-made script. All the material has been created in the rehearsal room through different practices of improvisation and task-based scores. Then, the material has been edited and developed together with the actors. We use processes of theatre making so that we can understand and influence how we are represented. This group began working in January 2026. Together we have been learning to listen – to each other and to the world, listening to words and listening to movement. Our stage finds its frame from questions of language, truth, tradition and modernity. Seeking understanding is a constant process of back-and-forth movement."

COMING SOON: PUNK
Villa Hakasalmi · Helsinki
Fifty years ago, punk scared decision-makers, annoyed neighbours and fired up an entire generation. From the margins arose a racket that upset the rules, smashed music and gave permission to do it all yourself, louder and faster. Today, punk culture lives on and the grassroots buzz is still active. The norms will fall when the Punk Museum takes over Villa Hakasalmi in October 2026. The exhibition celebrating 50 years of punk in Helsinki gets in your face with sweaty gigs, tattered posters and a wall of sound that will not be silenced. The past screams, the present responds and the future calls you to take part too. Photo: Kaide's leather jacket, 1986. J-P Inkinen / Punk Museum

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.

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.

Orvot
Finnish National Theatre · Helsinki
Tarina vapaudesta, veljeydestä ja väkivallasta Veljekset Treat ja Phillip ovat orpoja. Heidän ailahteleva isänsä on häipynyt ja äiti kuollut poikien ollessa pieniä. 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. Harold tekee veljeksille yllättävän tarjouksen, joka mullistaa heidän elämänsä. Mutta voiko rikkinäinen sielu päästä karkuun menneisyyttä, saati omaa itseään?

Toinen tasavalta
Finnish National Theatre · Helsinki
Tarinoita pelon ja toivon vuosikymmeniltä Esa Leskisen Toinen tasavalta kertoo Suomen ponnisteluista säilyttää demokraattinen valtiomuotonsa Neuvostoliiton painostuksen, kansainvälisten konfliktien ja sisäisten poliittisten ristiriitojen puristuksessa. Esitys on Leskisen demokratia-aiheisen esityssarjan itsenäinen neljäs osa, jonka edeltäjä oli huippusuosittu Ensimmäinen tasavalta (2022). Toinen tasavalta on älykäs, viihdyttävä ja elävän ajankuvan värittämä esitys, joka vyöryttää kansalliselle päänäyttämölle historian äkkikäänteitä ja henkilöitä sodanjälkeisistä vaaran vuosista 1980-luvun juppiaikaan ja neuvostoimperiumin romahdukseen. 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. Esityksen keskushenkilönä ja aikakautensa itseoikeutettuna symbolina toimii Urho Kekkonen. Nuoremman Kekkosen roolissa nähdään Janne Reinikainen, vanhempaa valtiomiestä esittää Vesa Vierikko.

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

Ánnámáret: Bálvvosbáiki
Kiasma-teatteri · Helsinki
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? The concert is part of Kiasma's We Who Remain - Sámi Art in Focus exhibition's programme. Ticket includes admission to Kiasma's exhibitions on the day of the performance.

They can also make their own fidget toy and print a fabric tote bag to take home.

During the course, we create both individual works and joint works made together by the adult and the child. We usually work on the same project over 1–2 club sessions. The themes of the works are inspired by current topics, and techniques include, for example, collage, drawing, painting, sculpting, hand embroidery, braiding or other yarn-based techniques.

Helsinki Art Museum HAM · Helsinki
The Tove Jansson Gallery at HAM opens on a larger scale than ever before, now spreading across three exhibition halls. The Tove Jansson Gallery is built around the beloved frescos Party in the Countryside and Party in the City, which are permanently on display.

It showcases Jansson’s art in a diverse way and introduces new perspectives on her as both a Helsinki-based and international artist. The gallery’s first exhibition presents the diverse forms of expression and shared artistic projects of the Jansson family of artists. Photographs also provide a glimpse into the family’s leisure time. The home’s atmosphere, close relationships and shared family adventures were later reflected in the Moomin stories that launched Tove Jansson to international fame.

Modern Classics: Elga Sesemann
Ateneum Art Museum · Helsinki
The Modern Classics series of exhibitions presents 20th-century artists from the Finnish National Gallery collections. The first artist to be featured in the series is Elga Sesemann. Elga Sesemann’s (1922–2007) life story is an exceptional and interesting example of a professional woman artist making a career for herself in Finland. The artist’s very first solo exhibition in Helsinki, in 1945, already drew the attention of critics and the art audience to her expressive style. Sesemann’s artistic oeuvre is extensive, and she enjoyed an active career, with her expression constantly evolving, until the mid-1990s. Ateneum Art Museum 18.8.2026-8.8.2027

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.

Amaze! Tales and Magic of Circus
Theatre Museum · Helsinki
Amaze! Tales and Magic of Circus is a comprehensive exhibition on Finnish circus and its history. Circus enchants, entertains, and captivates its audience with the antics of clowns, the bravery of circus artists, the sparkle of sequins, the scent of popcorn, magic, and masterful skills. 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.

Wanda & Naomi Holopainen: Landscape of Traces
Photographic Gallery Hippolyte · Helsinki
Landscape of Traces, an exhibition by artists Wanda Holopainen and Naomi Holopainen, continues their collaborative exploration of archives, memory and the ways in which knowledge is carried across generations and places. The exhibition examines how histories are remembered, preserved and passed on through objects, materials and practices. It considers how our relationship with things from the past shapes what remains, what is left out and what is forgotten. Landscape of Traces invites visitors to consider what remains in the materials around us and the stories they carry. What do we choose to reclaim, preserve, care for and pass on? What might exist beyond what we can see? Wanda Holopainen (b. 1993) is a self-taught multidisciplinary installation artist. Her current practice brings together textile installation, moving image and photography to explore material memory, ecology, transformation and cultural transmission. Naomi Holopainen (b. 1993) works conceptually across different media, exploring lines, forms and movement. Her practice focuses on how materials, bodies and spaces carry traces of experience, and how ordinary materials can be transformed through touch, process and environment. Grounded in collective creation and spatiality, her work explores the relationships between materials, bodies and their surroundings. Photographic Gallery Hippolyte 16.10.-15.11.2026 Free entry

Antti Jussila: Tender Buttons
Photographic Gallery Hippolyte · Helsinki
Antti Jussila’s Tender Buttons is a kind of home. Its order emerges through small shifts, repetition and things that have temporarily found their place. A home is held together through maintenance: surfaces are wiped, objects are moved, food is prepared and its remains cleared away. Something is constantly accumulating again. Running alongside Jussila’s work are Gertrude Stein’s Tender Buttons (1914) and Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper (1892), in which everyday objects, food, rooms and their surfaces refuse to remain merely the backdrop to events. In Jussila’s small-scale assemblages, repeated patterns and overlapping window frames are interwoven with plaster, textiles and everyday materials. Vaseline, glitter and food remains have adhered to smooth picture surfaces; elsewhere, small objects and materials are embedded in plaster, while clean textiles come into contact with those that have become soiled. Antti Jussila (b. 1979) is an artist based in Helsinki. He works across sculpture, moving image, sound and performance, both independently and collectively. His work brings visuality, materiality and language together, allowing meanings to accumulate in layers. His practice repeatedly examines systems and the interdependencies between them, alongside speculative fiction, the liminal zones of consciousness and aesthetic dead ends.

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.

Annantalo Arts Centre · Helsinki
Annantalo Art Saturdays allow the whole family to spend time together enjoying art in open workshops – stop by briefly or stay for a longer visit. Have you ever taken a closer look at the moon on a clear night? What sort of patterns can be seen on the moon’s surface? The participants sketch their ideas of what kind of patterns might be seen on the surface of the moon. We draw inspiration from sources such as a flight to the dark side of the moon, a potion-making hare, and how each person sees the patterns on the moon’s surface. The collage is made from cardboard and tissue paper in shades of yellow. The works created during the workshop will be displayed in the facade windows of Annantalo. Moon Flight is one of the workshops linked to the jointly created ‘Spectrum’ artwork In autumn 2026, Annantalo’s workshops and art groups will create a collaborative light art installation entitled Spectrum. This workshop is one of many in which different parts of the work are created. Come and make your contribution to the window installations to be displayed on the Annankatu side, glowing in the different colours of the spectrum. The opening ceremony for the Spectrum light installation will be held on 9 December at 18.00, illuminating the windows of Annantalo in a blaze of colour. Come and join us in building our shared spectrum! No prior skills are needed to participate, and all are welcome. Hearing protection and other sensory aids are available for children when needed.

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.

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.

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.

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. Rooleissa: Inkeri Hyvönen, Tuomas Korkia-aho, Sari Haapamäki, Sofia Hilli, Juha Jokela, Kai Lähdesmäki, Tiina Peltonen, Inka Tiitinen Kirjailija: Miika Nousiainen Sävellys: Marzi Nyman Laulujen sanat: Mariska Ohjaus: Jukka Nylund Koreografi: Katrin Vaskelainen Kapellimestari: Ville Myllykoski Dramaturgi: Sanna Niemeläinen Lavastus ja pukusuunnittelu: Aili

Nauravan Kulkurin Tarina
Helsinki City Theatre · Helsinki
Sami Keski-Vähälä NAURAVAN KULKURIN TARINA Sami Keski-Vähälän kirjoittama ja Paavo Westerbergin sovittama ja ohjaama uusi kotimainen musiikkidraama Nauravan kulkurin tarina on kertomus siitä, miten Vesa-Matti Loirista tuli koko Suomen kansan rakastama taiteilija. Nauravan kulkurin tarina on koskettava, hauska ja runollinen ylistyslaulu taiteelle ja viihteelle, kerrottuna Vesa-Matti Loirin tarinan kautta ja hänen esittämänsä ajattoman musiikin siivittämänä. Mitä yleisön rakastamien laulujen ja historiaan jääneiden koomisten ja traagisten roolien takana oli? Millaisesta intohimosta ja henkisestä kamppailusta Loirin taide syntyi? Ja mitä oli se elämä, mistä Vesku jäi paitsi? Suurella näyttämöllä nähdään Veskun tunnetuimpia roolihahmoja Nasse-sedästä Turhapuroon. Kuullaan Loirille tärkeitä, ja hänen itsensä esittämiä ja tulkitsemia musiikkikappaleita, kohdataan Veskulle tärkeitä ihmisiä. Taidetta syntyy, mutta siviilielämässä jotain hajoaa jatkuvasti. Katsoja pääsee kokemaan mistä Loirin taide syntyi, ja mikä oli hinta, minkä rakastettu koko kansan taiteilija maksoi rehellisyydestään, ehdottomuudestaan ja intohimostaan. Näytelmä on kunnianosoitus Vesa-Matti Loirin taiteelle, ja niille ihmisille, joita ilman tuota taidetta ei olisi syntynyt. Samalla teos on yhdenlainen kuva siitä yhtenäiskulttuurin Suomesta, jota ei enää ole.

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.

Kauri Honkakoski Company: HIGH TIDE
Cultural Centre Stoa · Helsinki
HIGH TIDE is an apocalyptic drawing-room drama set on the last shore of paradise. How dare nature ruin such a perfect summer day? A group of escapists enjoys an idyllic picnic while the world crumbles around them. How deep must one bury their head in the sand to avoid seeing the rising sea? The ocean is howling, the horizon tilting - but there is still time for another drink! HIGH TIDE is a visceral physical theatre production performed by a tightly knit ensemble. Breathing through the body and the subconscious, the work explores the tipping point – the moment when something reaches its absolute limit. Kauri Honkakoski Company is a powerhouse of Finnish physical theatre. Renowned for their captivatingly distinctive performances, the group interweaves rich physical expression, immersive soundscapes and striking visual design. Previous works, the critically acclaimed HINTERLAND and THE DESK, sold out rapidly. HIGH TIDE features the Company’s talented ensemble. Three artist discussions are held over the performance week: in Finnish after the 24 and 28 Oct performances, and in Swedish after the 27 Oct performance. ”A diamond polished to perfection.” - Marginaali (Hinterland) ”Absolutely phenomenal physical, acrobatic and mimetic expression.” - Alba nu, Sweden (Hinterland) “A masterpiece … enigmatic, hugely energetic and really impressive.” - Kielipuolen päiväkirja (Hinterland) “A truly harrowing physical-spacial portrait of the modern world.” - Voima (Kellari) “A masterclass in precision ensemble movement.” - Broadway Baby, UK (The Desk) ”World-class physical theatre.” - The Wee Review, UK (The Desk) Artistic team: Director, dramaturg: Kauri Honkakoski Performers: Ines Kakkonen, Josefin Karlsson, Liv Meijer Nordgren, Freia Stenbäck, Valter Sui Lighting design, set design: Sisu Nojonen Sound design: Tuuli Kyttälä Costume, masks: Kauri Honkakoski, Liv Meijer Nordgren Photos: Minna Kurjenluoma, Laura Vuoma Teasers: Minna Kurjenluoma, Tuuli Kyttälä (sound) Co-production: Ka

Entanglement: I am a tree, I am a mouth
Kiasma-teatteri · Helsinki
The performance is a sensory elegy that mourns our loss of connection to arboreal kin. Interweaving movement, sound and images, the work invites the audience into the entangled connections between an ancient oak grove, the human body and more-than-human beings — a ritual in the presence of a vanishing nature. This interdisciplinary performance installation emerges from the Entanglement collective’s field research in the ancient oak grove of Vaarniemi, Kaarina — a Natura 2000 site explored through listening and sensory attention since 2022. The collective’s artistic exploration generates an unfolding aesthetic-embodied ecosystem, stimulating the senses and emotions, and is intended to prompt contemplation about our role in preserving biodiversity.

Shared Frequencies: Pixelache Festival 2026 (K18)
Tiivistämö · Helsinki
Shared Frequencies: Pixelache Festival 2026 (K18) Tänä vuonna Pixelache-festivaali järjestetään Suvilahdessa 20.–24. Lokakuuta. Arkipäivisin järjestetään työpajoja Oranssilla ja lauantaina Tiivistämöllä on tarjolla elokuvanäytöksiä, esityksiä ja musiikkia. Elämme epävarmaa aikaa, jossa julkinen keskustelu tuntuu yhä enemmän rakentuvan sodan, kriisien ja katastrofien ympärille. Selviytymistä käsitellään helposti yksilön omana projektina: jokaisen pitäisi varautua itse, hankkia selviytymispakkaus ja pitää huolta vain omasta pärjäämisestään. Tälläisessa tilanteessa taiteella voi olla toinen tehtävä. Sen sijaan, että keskitymme yksilölliseen selviytymiseen, taide voi auttaa meitä rakentamaan yhteisiä tapoja toimia, ajatella ja kuvitella tulevaisuutta. Emme ehkä itse koskaan näe sellaista maailmaa, jonka haluaisimme, mutta voimme silti pitää yllä toivoa ja välittää sitä eteenpäin seuraaville sukupolville. Pixelache-festivaalin tämän vuoden teema käsittelee solidaarisuutta ja yhteistyötä vaihtoehtona ajatukselle, että vain vahvimmat selviävät. Festivaali etsii hitaita ja yhteisöllisiä tapoja rakentaa verkostoja, joissa ihmiset voivat tukea toisiaan ja luoda yhdessä jotain uutta. Lopulta teema on kuitenkin vain tapa kehystää festivaalia. Tärkeintä on tehdä asioita yhdessä, kokeilla uusia tapoja olla ja toimia yhdessä, pitäen samalla myös hauskaa.

Guide to Becoming Tapio Rautavaara
Vuosaari House · Helsinki
When Youssef Asad Alkhatib, who is of Syrian origin, arrived in Finland as a refugee at the age of 16, he found an unexpected source of comfort in the Finnish soundscape and the songs of Tapio Rautavaara. He identified with them and recognised something of himself in them. Ever since then, Alkhatib’s dream has been to create a performance about Finnish culture and his complex relationship with his idol. On Independence Day 2025, this long-held dream came true in KOM-teatteri. The performance tells, with a smile, the story of a vagabond arriving from afar who has heard people talking about Finland and the happiest people in the world who live there. The language is unfamiliar and the customs strange, but Rautavaara’s songs offer guidance and hope for a better future. When the vagabond learns that his idol was also an Olympic medallist and a film star, his standards soar to the skies. How does our tenacious hero manage to live up to the expectations that he has set for himself and embody the archetype of the perfect Finnish man? And how far is he prepared to go to become as beloved as Tapsa, who was adored by the whole nation? Youssef Asad Alkhatib is one of the most interesting new voices in Finnish theatre. Theatre has provided him with a way of understanding his new homeland, and now, as a student at the Theatre Academy, he is transforming his experiences into stories that resonate with both young people of Finnish descent and immigrant communities. Alkhatib has previously appeared with KOM-teatteri in the productions Seitsemän tarinaa häpeästä and Hölmölä – Suuri Talousfoorumi, and in his autobiographical monologue performance Hajuvesi. Alongside Alkhatib, the cast includes musician Taavi Hasunen, who also works in KOM-teatteri as an AV designer and as a sound and lighting technician. Otto Nyberg is responsible for the script and direction of the production; his career include works such as Kanijanikani and Julius – Kaukaisella tähdellä oman päänsä sisällä, which

Will Funk For Food: A Fistful of Funk
Cultural Centre Kanneltalo · Helsinki
One of the most prestigious street dance groups in Finland, Will Funk For Food (WFFF), brings to Kanneltalo Finland’s first full-length performance based on the street dance style locking. The work is inspired by the hypermasculinity and toxic machismo of western films and the genre's cavalcade of characters. A Fistful of Funk revolves around locking from which it begins to weave connections to the world of contemporary dance theatre. The performance dives head-first into one of the main elements of locking dance: character. Ultimately, character is the distinctive feature that separates dancers from each other and contributes to the uniqueness of their individual styles. The group seeks to dismantle the masculinity familiar from westerns and explore what masculinity and masculine encounters can be instead. In addition to exploring the themes of friendship and brotherhood, the performance uses the western setting as a platform for playful street dance duels, known as battles in street dance culture. Locking, which was originally danced to funk music, was created by African Americans living on the West Coast of the United States in the 1970s. Locking is characterised by precise, sharp pauses and acrobatic tricks, combined with the grooving 'party steps' of the West Coast social dances. In addition to locking, the performance utilises the movement language of contemporary dance, physical theatre, and clown techniques. The aim is to create an adventurous, narrative stage where each performer’s originality and uniqueness feed each other. Will Funk For Food, founded in 2008, is one of the most internationally successful street dance groups in Finland specialised in locking. WFFF is making locking known in Finland and aims to establish street dance as part of the Finnish cultural scene and bring joy to all ages. The dance group has won three consecutive Finnish Championships and performed internationally in Japan, France, and Sweden. The stage will feature Will Funk For F

Transpoli on temppurata
Cultural Centre Caisa · Helsinki
In this gamified contemporary circus performance, the gender identity clinic turns out to be an obstacle course where you may find yourself back at square one despite having overcome numerous obstacles. The term ‘transpoli’ refers to the gender identity research outpatient clinics of HUS and TAYS. The performance simulates the gender identity clinic process and explores the unequal structures within the healthcare system and the use of power by the clinics through a game and circus. You can take part in the performance as a player or a spectator. From the stands, spectators watch as the players make their way along – or get stuck on – a gender identity clinic obstacle course. The players, on the other hand, are assigned a character at random, based on real, anonymous gender identity clinic stories collected and published by the Transpolitiikka collective. The following details are known about the characters: their age group, gender identity, any associated diagnoses, and other potential factors that may hinder the clinic process, such as obesity. Players can progress smoothly along the obstacle course or receive penalties, or even be sent back to the start, just like at real-life gender identity clinics. The game has 10 places for players: if you would like to take part as a player, reserve your ticket in good time! The player tickets are not suitable for people with reduced mobility. Those with a player ticket should arrive 30 minutes before the performance for a briefing. Tickets: €20/7 via lippu.fi. Please be aware that this performance may be distressing for people who are currently undergoing or have undergone their own gender identity clinic process, or who have had negative experiences related to this subject matter. The themes explored in the performance, such as the use of medical power, may cause anxiety.

Kurtturuusut
Helsinki City Theatre · Helsinki
Pirjo Tuominen - Miika Muranen KURTTURUUSUT Kurtturuusut on lämminhenkinen komedia ystävyydestä, rakkaudesta ja ikääntymisestä. 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.

Kiviä Taskussa
Arena Theatre - Helsinki City Theatre · Helsinki
Marie Jones KIVIÄ TASKUSSA Charlie ja Jake, Martti Suosalo ja Mika Nuojua, kulkevat Kiviä taskussa -näytelmässä läpi monen miehen elämän. Pentti Kotkaniemen ohjauksessa ihmiskohtaloihin ja kokemuksiin limittyy myös Irlannin historia. Kiviä taskussa on ilmiö Suomen teatterikentällä – sitä on esitetty loppuunmyytynä jo vuodesta 2002. Ohjaaja kehuu näytelmän ideaa: “Ihmettelen sitä, että vasta nyt joku nykykirjailija on käyttänyt keskiajalta tunnettua mysteerio buffo-menetelmää eli näyttelijä siirtyy toiseen rooliin vain rytmiä ja painotusta vaihtamalla.” Tähän hatunvaihtotekniikkaan yltävät nimenomaan Suosalo ja Nuojua. He tekevät yhteensä 15 roolia. “Vaihdot ovat salamannopeita ja roolihahmojen skaala ulottuu hemaisevasta amerikkalaiskaunottaresta 75-vuotiaaseen maalaisukkeliin”, Kotkaniemi kertoo. Tarina ei ole silti mikään kahden miehen vitsi-ilta. “Ei, Kiviä taskussa on traaginen komedia ja haastava kahden miehen näytelmä”, Mika Nuojua sanoo. Tarina alkaa siitä, kun 35-vuotiaat luuserit Charlie ja Jake menevät avustajiksi amerikkalaisen elokuvan kuvauksiin ja joutuvatkin tekemään aivan muuta kuin ennakkoon aavistavat. Ohjaaja Kotkaniemi sanoo, että näytelmä on tyypillistä näyttelijöiden teatteria. “Siksi molempien herrojen pitää olla virtuooseja. Onneksi he ovat, ja se on ohjaajan lottovoitto.” Esitysoikeus: Suomen Teatteritoimisto Teateragenturen i Finland Ab http://www.teatteritoimisto.fi./ Rooleissa: Martti Suosalo ja Mika Nuojua Suomentaja: Henri Kapulainen Ohjaaja: Pentti Kotkaniemi Koreografia: Tuovi Rantanen Lavastus ja puvut: Jyrki Seppä Valot: Teppo Saarinen Ääni: Ari-Pekka Saarikko Lisätietoa

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+

British Festival Ballet: Swan Lake
Finlandia Hall · Helsinki
Swan Lake comes to Finlandia Hall for two performances in October 2026! British Festival Ballet presents the classical ballet in Helsinki, with guest artists Yerkin Rakhmatullayev and Sofiya Adilkhanova from Astana Opera in the leading roles. A prince, a swan and a spell. By day, Odette is transformed into a swan on an enchanted lake. By night, she returns to human form. Prince Siegfried falls in love with her and promises to break the curse, until the sorcerer Rothbart sends his daughter Odile disguised in Odette’s image. The dual role of Odette and Odile is one of the defining roles of the classical ballet repertoire, contrasting the lyrical White Swan with the virtuosity of the Black Swan. The production follows the classical tradition associated with the 1895 staging of Swan Lake, with choreography based on Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov and music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The performances feature a full corps de ballet under the artistic direction of Yassaui and Sophie Mergaliyev.
