Our Annual Report for 2022 is now available to read in Finnish! The report gives an overview of all our activities in 2022.
The past year has been a return to communities for the institute; from remote work to the office, from behind the screens to physical meetings. Artists have been able to perform for audiences and traveling has been possible again.

Among our events, the year’s highlights included a study trip of Finnish contemporary art professionals to the Netherlands, the cultural programme of the first-ever EU-Sámi week organised in Brussels, the discussion on Nordic construction culture as part of the Brussels’ Festival of the New European Bauhaus and The Book Club organised in the autumn in Helsinki within the framework of the institute’s Masculinities programme. We are excited to say our program reached an audience of 10,000 last year!
A huge thank you to everyone that we collaborated with.
You can read our full 2022 annual report in Finnish. The English version will be published soon on our website.
