Uusista Suomalaisista: Photography Exhibition | 16.5.-15.6.2016

NEW FINNS

Photography by Milka Alanen

Annantalo 16.5.-15.6.2016

Every year some three thousand marriages are made in Finland between a Finn and a foreigner. In Helsinki they amount to one in five of all marital unions, in all of Finland to one in eight.

Immigration in Finland is often discussed in overtly negative tones. What we wanted was to help to eradicate the fear of the unknown. We decided to approach the changing image of Finnishness by introducing some of the many couples where one spouse originally comes from outside Finland.

We sought to show that Finns no longer always look the way we are used to seeing them. On the other hand, a child appearing thoroughly Finnish may well have a parent from another country. The lives of children born of multicultural relationships are enriched by the diverse backgrounds of their parents.

In the book New Finns, which was published in September 2014, we introduced 12 such families and this exhibition is dedicated to their pictures. We believe the pictures to show that all of us are more similar than different, no matter where we come from.

The past year has been a challenging one: there are more refugees now than ever since the second World War. The humanitarian crises echo here in the north as well.

It is paramount that we do not give in to fear. The path to a safer society lies in the open minded receiving of the future Finns.

A basic need of all people is to be seen and accepted. Only thus do we guarantee that Finland remains a good place to live.

Semillas del ritmo cubano | 5.6.-12.6

Entresse library 5.6.-12.6.

Semillas del ritmo cubano: Musical Instruments Exhibition.

Many instruments are built in Cuba with materials that come from Nature.For example, the maracas, the güiro and the claves. They all are pure Nature!

A lot of wood is needed to build a guitar or a Cuban tres, as well as for making a
tumbadora or bongo drum. Besides, these instruments need a piece of leather to sound properly.
There are also instruments made of metal, for example a bell
or a cowbell.

In this miniature exhibition, Papá Montero, a Finnish musician, investigator and a great cuban music promoter in Finland, shares some of the Cuban instruments from his collection.
