RAPHAËL / L’APHARÉ
Play and act from what is here - on the theme of resources
The practice starts with a round of words among us, the participants, from the theme of resources. How everyone situate themselves in relation to resources? From the round of words we’ll move to a soft movement practice, guided by prompts. The prompts are an invitation to bring the themes and reflections into motion, to let ourselves be moved by the theme. They are an invitation to see what happens in our ways of thinking when we disrupt the configuration of a conversation where we remain seated in the same place. The conversation will continue from there. At the end of the 2 hours we’ll leave traces on papers on what came out during the session. We’ll come with examples of practical ideas and imagine how we could implement them. This open practice is an invitation to think about the theme of resources through movement and playfulness. It aims to contribute to the already many existing ways of thinking and taking actions towards a more equitable sharing of resources.

On Precarity, Precarization, and the Artistic Economy
This panel brings together art workers to reflect on how precarity is experienced, maintained, and intensified through the social, economic, and institutional conditions that affect artistic labor processes and relations. The discussion considers how access, resources, support, mobility, and recognition are unevenly distributed, and how administrative and bureaucratic requirements often disregard the lived realities of artistic labor and economy—particularly for those navigating different stages of immigration within the context of austerity-driven restructuring and discriminatory regulatory frameworks. Designed as a closed session, the panel aims to foster collegial exchange and the sharing of tools, resources, and methodologies in order to think collectively about the possibilities and difficulties of reshaping artistic economies and institutions we work in and through, and to imagine more equitable and sustainable labor and working conditions.

Intersections: Collective ar(t)chiving practice
IMPORTANT:
1. This workshop focuses on the stories of marginalized and oppressed people, therefore white cis straight men are kindly asked not to join.
2. It also would be best if you have some artistic background or knowledge, and/or participated in some form of activism. It’s not a strict requirement though, and people with any background are welcome to join if they feel confident, or just want to come for a short time and contribute in some specific way.
3. If you have any materials that you want to use or can share, please bring them along!
Short description:
‘History is written by the victors’ is what I was always told.
You are invited to a collective practice, where we will use artistic methods such as drawing, painting, stitching and collage to reenact and capture our emotional memories, and map them together into a bigger intersectional narrative to create a freeform zine-archive.
The narratives of the past and present are carefully curated and warped by the ones in power. Governments and powerful established institutions preach the ‘factuality’, ‘statistical evidence’, ‘facts’ and ‘objectivity’ of history, because it benefits them the most. Because they are the ones who eventually decide what is preserved and researched, and what is deemed insignificant. History is in the eye of the beholder, archives are the reflections of power.
The only way to resist institutional gaslighting is to create archives of our own, telling our stories, our joys and sufferings. To create them intersectionally, in a group with a variety of perspectives.
Emotional memories cannot be represented by ‘factual’ artifacts, such as documents, statistics, receipts, but can gain tangibility through personal artistic expression of the owner. When all of the participants are able to witness them, it will become evident where our stories intersect, and we will be able to see a bigger, tangled and messy bigger picture. This picture is the core of our tiny situational archive. We will create a package/file/folder/box (or multiple) which will be the format of our zine. Some pieces can be glued/stitched/tied together, some can be left as they are, allowing the viewers to redefine the zine’s order, mix up the narratives, and, perhaps, notice correlations that other people missed. Such a free and non-linear form of the zine is crucial for its intersectional character and its further life.
You can join for the whole day, or come just for a few hours, or come, leave and come back eventually.

MUSTAPISTE
Sun Salutation
The Helsinki-based online journal for experimental art Mustapiste is planning to launch a concert series titled: mp concert series in 2026. Finding a definition for the term “experimental music” cannot be done without association to a particular local scene. Hence mp intends to curate the growing body of artists working at the boundary of sound art and music in Helsinki.
Programme:
Fredrik Rasten: Svevning (solo for live retuned guitar and voice)
Performer: Mark Reid Bulatović
“Svevning” is a Norwegian word meaning levitation or flying, in the sense of flying without effort – like when a bird is fully supported by the airstream, merely gliding. The concert is both site-sensitive and time-sensitive. The two parts of the concert are planned at the time when the sun is about to rise and set in January, as a gesture to invite the audience to share the unique time and space in Helsinki by tuning-in together. The performance uses a score with flexible length, which will take about 60 minutes. After the performance, all participants are invited to have some coffee or tea together, to mingle, to reflect or just to share the time and space together for a while.
