Join us this Sunday for our last event — “Here, Not.” book launch and exhibition!
“Here, Not.” is an edited collection of conversations, photographic work, and creative writing, that investigate how arts and culture address belonging, identity and access in the urban spaces of Helsinki, Finland.
At 7pm, the editor
@micolcuratolo presents the publication and its contributors, in conversation with
@ana11sva .
Between 6-9pm, the multimedia work of
@francesca.bogama will transform the gallery in an echo room populated with the sounds and colours of Helsinki’s suburban shores and of the streets of Lima, Perú.
See you there ✨✨✨
Francesca Bogani Amadori (Lima, 1990) is a visual artist and artistic researcher based in Helsinki. Their work examines power configurations within geopolitical and sociocultural hegemonic places, mainly focusing on the interdependence of subjects and place. Bogani Amadori draws on the personal experience of dealing with (in)visible power dynamics through performance, walking, mapping, and active listening. Their diverse process-based practice focuses on attunement through sonic, relational, and affective methods to enable ways to (re)think place and self.
Micol Curatolo is a cultural worker, curator, and producer. Her professional interest lies at the intersection of geography and identity. Micol’s current research moves from the concept of the borderzone within the local and the everyday, and the global and the historical. Her personal practice investigates how arts and culture negotiate belonging, participation, and experiences of migration.

![We are excited to share our August calendar with you! ️My Soul Is Singing And Dancing To The Sound Of ArtMehtab Singh Sandhu8th-14th AugustPV 8th August 6-9pmMehtab Singh Sandhu (b. 1957) was born and raised in Punjab, India, where he has worked most of his life as a civil & criminal lawyer. Since childhood, he has found bliss in the meditative practice of making art, which has remained a spiritual calling his whole life. Producing sculptures, drawings, and paintings from a young age, works encompass a vital playfulness; often using everyday materials in a practice deeply rooted in experience over out-come.[My Soul Is Singing And Dancing To The Sound Of Art is Sandhu’s debut show. Curated by Amrit Singh Sandhu, his daughter, she presents a series of far traveled works; selected from Sandhu’s home studio in Amritsar, Punjab and exhibited here in the UK through a desire to share his previously hidden work with the rest of the world].Les MotsBeta Angel15.08.20245-10pm“Les Mots” is a performance piece that aims to create a room-sized collective poem over the course of an evening, which will later be printed in a limited edition.
