Group exhibition: Making space for artistry – equity for disabled artists and artists who are Sign Language users
14th April – 21st May 2023 Aine Art Museum (please note the changed starting date)
The group exhibition Making space for artistry brings together the artists and artist duos who worked in residency in Tornio and Haparanda in 2022: Sofia Karinen, Aino Laiho & Olga Green, Kari Toiviainen and Maarit Hedman & Anu Haapanen.
In the exhibition the works created during the artists’ residencies are for the first time jointly presented at the Aine Art Museum. The exhibition, which includes works with different techniques, deals with for example the ambiance of the place in the Torne Valley, on the border of Finland and Sweden, and a space where it is not always easy to get the artist’s own voice across.
In the project Making space for artistry the aim is to find creative and experimental solutions to enable working in an artist residency for disabled artists and artists who are Sign Language users. The participating artists were selected through an open call. The project’s residencies in 2022 have been produced by Culture for All, Aine Art Museum and the cities of Tornio and Haaparanda.
Opening
The opening of the exhibition will be on Thursday 13th of April at 14 (Finland’s time). Warm welcome!
