Together Again<\/em> is an expansive art project fostering gatherings, workshops, intercultural dialogues and socially engaged art, organised by the Finnish Cultural and Academic Institutes across the world. Together Again<\/em> presents six community-based works to audiences in Amsterdam, Helsinki, London, Madrid, New York, Oslo, Paris, and Porto, as well as online. The project takes place throughout 2023 and culminates in a one-day festival held in Helsinki, Finland on the 8th of September 2023.<\/p>\n

In the spring of 2020, as a response to the challenges caused by the pandemic, the Institute network announced an open call for new international art projects under the title of Together Alone<\/em>. The open call sought artistic proposals related to the state of emergency, radical change, and resilience. The second iteration Together Alone 2.0<\/em> was launched in 2021, resulting in the exhibition Elastic Alliances<\/em><\/a> at Hanaholmen Cultural Centre in Espoo, Finland and the seminar Artistic Collaborations in a Flux<\/em><\/a>, focusing on new forms of artistic collaboration.<\/p>\n

Together Again<\/em> concludes the Together Alone<\/em><\/a> trilogy and partakes in rebuilding of the international cultural field.<\/p>\n

Together Again includes four new commissions from artists Matti Aikio<\/strong>, Minna Henriksson<\/strong>, Uwa Iduozee<\/strong>, and the Kairos collective<\/strong>. In addition, projects by artist Aapo Nikkanen<\/strong> & L\u00e9a Domingues<\/strong> and the artist collectives Post Theatre Collective<\/strong>\u00a0and Pehmee-kollektiivi<\/strong>\u00a0(The Soft Collective)<\/strong> are developed further on from the earlier phase of the project.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Festival<\/h2>\n

The project is presented to audiences during a one-day festival taking place in Helsinki and online on the 8th of September 2023. In addition to the physical experience of works in selected countries where the institutes are located, the festival will travel across time zones via online platforms. The digital programme includes online works, performances and recordings, artist presentations and discussions on best practice between artists and other cultural operators.<\/p>\n

Karoliina Korpilahti<\/strong> from the Finnish Institute in the UK and Ireland and Elina Suoyrj\u00f6<\/strong> from the Finnish Cultural Institute in New York form the curatorial team for the project. Monica Gathuo<\/strong> works as the Executive Producer of Together Again<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the post-pandemic era, localised, long-term and sensitively supported processes are more important than ever. The community-based works that are produced as part of the festival seek to create impact and support structures for communities, specifically locally in Finland and in the countries where the institutes are located\u201d, the curatorial team states.<\/p>\n

Together Again<\/em> is made possible thanks to the Art\u00b2 Grant of the Finnish Cultural Foundation<\/a> and supported by the Jenny and Antti Wihuri Foundation<\/a>. The project is realised in collaboration with Bienal \u201823 Fotografia do Porto<\/a>, Frame Contemporary Art Finland<\/a>, The Showroom<\/a>, Vera List Center for Art and Politics<\/a>, along with other partners.<\/p>\n
