Programme

Panel discussion

Power and responsibility – Focus on structures

Orlan Ohtonen, Hanna Parry and Vishnu Vardhani. DJ Sophia Wekesa

Let’s talk about power and responsibility, structures, and change! Let’s dive head first into the tricky conversations. Who holds power in the Finnish art field? How is power distributed? Or resources? What kind of art is considered as valuable? How are questions around equality, inclusivity or diversity considered in curating and programming? How could power be distributed more evenly?

As panelists we have three amazing curators, artists, makers and thinkers: Orlan Ohtonen, Hanna Parry and Vishnu Vardhani. The discussion will be moderated by Olga Palo.

After the discussion you can enjoy tunes by DJ Sophia Wekesa

The discussion will be recorded.
