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. WORKING GROUP: Maria Nurmela, Vesa Loikas, Jane Sheldon, Jaakko Vastapuu, Erno Seppälä, Gesa Piper, Riina Kalmi, Bart H.M.Vandeput PERFORMANCES Sat 24.10.2026 15.00 Sun 25.10.2026 15.00 Wed 28.10.2026 18.00 Fri 30.10.2026 18.00 Ticket includes admission to Kiasma's exhibions on the day of the performance.

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. The four-month-long children's literature event celebrates books. The festival offers a diverse program. Exhibitions take children to the worlds of stories and illustrations. Visits by illustrators and authors bring the authors closer to readers. In Annansali, you can also experience performances and concerts based on Finnish children's books.

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!

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. Kallion kirjaston Vintillä. *** Kallion kirjasto Viides linja 11 00530 Helsinki 09 310 850 53 facebook.com/kirjastokallio

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lopetus
Finnish National Theatre · Helsinki
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.

Viidakon villit naiset
Finnish National Theatre · Helsinki
Kristian Smedsin uusi ”alkuperäissarja” heilauttaa katsojat liaanilla viihdeteollisuuden viidakkoon! Luvassa on tosi-tv-teatteria, anarkistista komediaa ja ennennäkemätön energialataus Suurella näyttämöllä. Kuusi suomalaista naista on valittu uuden tosi-tv-tuotannon tähdiksi. Tällä kertaa se, mikä tapahtuu viidakossa, ei jää viidakkoon. Kaikki halukkaat pääsevät kurkistamaan studioyleisön ominaisuudessa osallistujien elämään jännittävien kuvausten ja kilpailutehtävien lomassa. Menoa ei haittaa edes se, että huonojen taloudellisten näkymien vuoksi matka Malesiaan on peruttu. Viidakko on rakennettu Keravalle tyhjään teollisuushalliin. Planet Fun Funin jäämistöä ja muuta filmialan rompetta on raavittu kasaan huutokaupoista ja konkurssipesistä. Lapista on hommattu Speden kesämökin kuuluisa palju uima-altaaksi. Tuotannon taustalla – ja tietysti myös yleisön ja kameran edessä – häärivät tuottajamoguli (Hannu-Pekka Björkman) sekä hänen erehdyttävästi Jack Sparrow’ta muistuttava assistenttinsa (Petri Manninen). Miesten aikomuksena on kääriä taskuihinsa suuret massit tällä uudella menestysformaatilla.

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.

The work is based on each participant’s own interests and individual support needs. The child and parent work together as a pair, exploring a variety of materials and tools with guidance from the instructor. Each pair can move forward calmly at their own pace. A range of supportive tools is available, including visual supports, fidget toys and ear defenders. The course takes a multisensory approach: for some, sensory work based on touch may feel most natural, while others may prefer using a brush, sponge or different printing tools. During the course, participants explore colours and easy techniques such as salt painting, modelling and printing with a variety of fun objects. They can also make their own fidget toy and print a fabric tote bag to take home. The course is suitable for children with special needs who benefit from individual support and accessible participation. In art-therapeutic work, the final result is not what matters most; the shared process and the experience of being seen and heard are at the heart of the work. Everyone is welcome just as they are. The language of instruction is Finnish. The course is led by Maarit Myllynen, the developer of the Color in Life courses, an art therapist and art teacher (Master of Arts).

Annantalo Arts Centre · Helsinki
Let’s explore materials, techniques and creativity together! In this child–adult multi-art club, creativity is explored together by learning from and with one another. The aim is to pause and share a moment in creative activity. No previous experience in crafts or visual arts is required in this joint multi-art club for children and adults. An interest in hands-on creative making is enough. We make versatile use of recycled materials in the club.

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. Spanning three exhibition halls, the gallery aims to strengthen Tove Jansson’s artistic legacy and significance in both art history and Finnish society. 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.

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

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.

СОВРЕМЕННЫЙ МИФ Новый сезон книжного клуба «Зеленая лампа», осень 2026 Некоторые книги гораздо интереснее читать не в одиночку, а зная, что потом будет с кем обсудить. Книжный клуб — как раз такой повод собраться и разобрать вместе то, что давно хотелось прочитать. Литература XX–ХХI веков создает собственные мифы, не ограничиваясь пересказом античных сюжетов. Современный миф не столько объясняет устройство мира, сколько ищет способ жить в мире, переставшем быть понятным, — и почти никогда не претендует на окончательный ответ. В новом сезоне посмотрим, как мифологические черты проявляются в знаковых романах ХХ века: часть текстов у всех на слуху, часть — менее известна.

A young star on the organ firmament: Jan Liebermann
Musiikkitalo - Helsinki Music Centre · Helsinki
Born in 2005, Jan Liebermann is a spectacular talent who has rapidly risen to become one of the brightest stars on the organ firmament. He has swept up prizes at international organ competitions and made a début at the famous Philharmonie in Berlin with both a solo recital and an appearance with the Berlin Philharmonic in autumn 2025. Liebermann compares the organ to an orchestra: “We organists have innumerable instruments under our fingers all at once. We have flutes, we have trumpets, trombones and strings, an entire symphony orchestra.” He is also interested in how every organ is an individual and in designing a customised repertoire for each instrument. Hearing the 124-stop organ at the Musiikkitalo under Jan Liebermann’s hands (and feet) is something very special!

Bo Carpelan 100: Carte blanche
House of Nobility (Ritarihuone) · Helsinki
For Bo Carpelan (1926–2011), a prominent figure in Finnish literature, music was a beloved hobby. Now, in honour of the 100th anniversary of the author's birth, FiBO and the author's descendants have planned a program that Carpelan would have wanted to hear. FiBO's artistic director from 2014 to 2017, violinist Antti Tikkanen, is the leader and soloist of the concert. The concert continues FiBO's period instrument performances of works by Jean Sibelius (1865–1957) with his later suite for violin and string orchestra (op. 117, 1929). Axel Carpelan (1858–1919) was a friend, supporter and interlocutor of Sibelius. Bo Carpelan's bestselling novel Axel (1986) explores the inner world of Axel, the author’s grandfather’s brother, as well as his social isolation and his relationship to the glorified Sibelius. FiBO performs symphonies from the year 1764 by Joseph Haydn (1732–1809) and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791). The program is complemented by Johann Sebastian Bach's (1685–1750) violin concerto in A minor (BWV 1041). Antti Tikkanen, violin and leader Finnish Baroque Orchestra Mozart – J.S. Bach – Sibelius – Haydn House of Nobility 25.10.2026 18.00-19.45, incl. intermission Tickets 15-52€ from Ticketmaster Pre-concert talk 17.00-17.30 with Antti Tikkanen and descendants of Bo Carpelan
