listening workshop for kids and their close ones

(in English – please scroll down)

Tervetuloa kuuntelemaan ja piirtämään lapsille ja lapsenmielisille tarkoitettuun työpajaan Annantalolla Helsingissä.

Koskettavia keskusteluja

Koskettavia keskusteluja on tila, jossa perheet ja ystävät voivat kohdata ja luoda yhdessä äänimaiseman ja piirroksen. Teoksen äänimaisema syntyy piirtäen erilaisilla arkisilla materiaaleilla/esineillä, jotka ovat tuttuja kotiympäristöstä ja puistoista. Materiaaleista jää jälki paperiin ja mikrofoni tallentaa äänimaiseman, jota voi kuunnella kuulokkeiden kautta.

Teokseen voi osallistua 15–20 minuutin ajan. Kerralla mukaan mahtuu 1–4 osallistujaa. Tilassa toimintaa on ohjaamassa taiteilija Emma Fält.

As part of Äänen äärellä – exhibition there is one more workshop for kids and their close ones:

Touchscapes

Touchscapes is a space where families and friends can collaborate to create soundscapes and drawings. The soundscape is created by drawing with various everyday materials/objects familiar from homes and parks. The materials leave a mark on the paper, and a microphone records the soundscape, which you can listen to through headphones. The simple tools are suitable for everyone.


You can participate in the artwork for 15–20 minutes. Each session can accommodate 1–4 participants. The activities in the space will be guided by artist Emma Fält.

Welcome to listen and draw together!

Shared Futures – Listening exercises to imagine the impossible

Studium 1, Helsingin yliopiston päärakennus, Fabianinkatu 33

Saturday 11.1. // 15.45 – 17.00

Description:

How do you imagine the impossible and share it with others? In this workshop, participants will work on multisensory listening exercises to delve deeper into thinking about radical imagination. We will listen, draw and walk together.

You can participate in English or Finnish. The exercises are done independently and in groups, and no experience in the arts is necessary.

The workshop is based on a long-term art project Shared Futures that was initiated by Fält, implemented by artists Fält, Anna Maria Väisänen and Roberto Fusco and supported by ANTI Contemporary Art Festival, Kuopio City and Arts Promotion Center Finland as a Project for cultural well-being for the elderly people. The project was invited to be presented as part of POLIMA seminars and workshops at Turku University between 2022-23. POLIMA is an ethnographic research project that addresses the timely question of political alienation and the dissipation of political imagination, as well as the need for fundamental social change. Last year, I wrote an article that collects and suggests alternative thinking tools for sociologists and other scientists who work on the topic of future research.
