Photo North – Northern Photographic Centre invites residents living in Kaukovainio area and people who are fond about the place to be local guides to places that are important to them. There will be a series of photowalks, where visual artist Tuomo Kangasmaa will lead the participants into the world of viewing. Photowalks are free of charge and do not need a registration in advance.
On 2nd of May, Photowalkers gather at the Kaukovainio Library. During walks, we look at the environment gently, critically and with new eyes. The photowalks will be compiled into a new zine and an exhibition that will spread across the Kaukovainio area in the winter 2025.
The goal is to reacquaint oneself with one’s surroundings. Do we see something with new eyes, are we more merciful or unmerciful? What the pictures tell about us and our environment?
The photowalks are co-produced by Photo North and Valve urban neighborhood culture.
