Full programme About
For three weeks, Redukt_Studio in Kallio will function as a small-scale hub for collective exchange, activation, and practices of commoning. Artists, collectives, cultural workers, and activists are invited to come together to exchange on the conditions of artistic labor in 2026 Finland and other relevant topics amid funding cuts, the rise of right-wing policies, institutional repression, restrictive immigration laws, growing unemployment, ongoing genocides, and systemic colonial violence. The space will function as both a forum for critical discussion and as a platform for performances and community-led activities.
This initiative is funded on the idea that, in times of precarity, we cannot rely solely on institutional funding systems or individual survival strategies. Instead, we need to get together and explore how communities can actively share common resources, knowledge, and tools to sustain one another and our practices.
Why this?
Because we believe that sharing narratives, tools, and infrastructures can mobilize collective action and solidarity. None of these practices will be able to replace the structures of state funding or cancel oppressive concentrations of power any time soon, but we hope they do open up space to find ways to support each other, build solidarity, and to regain a sense of futurity together as we dive into the new year.
"Real forces for transformational change originate in small places, with small groups of people, beneath the gaze of power."
