Tervetuloa Bokvillaniin lapsille suunnattuun osallistavaan teatteriesitykseen! Esityksestä vastaa Mandarina kollektiivi ja esityskieli on englanti. Ilmoita lapsesi etukäteen mukaan alla löytyvästä linkistä! Tapahtuma on ilmainen.

24.10. 13:00 at Bokvillan | Hämeentie 125, 00560, Helsinki.

The Rain Theatre is a multi-sensorial experience that aims to bring the science of cloud formation and rainmaking closer to young and family audiences.

This performance is adapted to welcome pairs of one child and one adult. We invite not only parents, but grandparents, older siblings, uncles, aunts and non-blood-related families… to join children in this journey that combines participatory science experimentation, storytelling in English and visual and sound arts. During the performance, we ask children and adults to engage, empathise and help to restore the unbalance created by humans in the Amazon and bring the rain back.

Water, coming from the abundant rains, is the blood that flows in the Amazon. Human action, ubiquitous nowadays not only alters essential natural mechanisms like the water cycle but also causes biodiversity loss, displaces indigenous communities, threatening knowledge and symbiotic ways of living with Nature. Combining storytelling with all our senses will translate into a universal language, as we aim to create awareness about one of the most important phenomena that take place in the Amazon, and elsewhere: Rain.

Kääntöpaikan Galleriatilassa lokakuussa aina torstaisin 10-18, Mandarina Collectiven osallistava näyttely ”OPEN END: Yhteisön muotokuva”.

Kääntöpaikka Gallery in October every Thursday 10-18, Mandarina Collective: participatory exhibition ”OPEN END: a community portrait”

What do the neighbourhood inhabitants look like through the eyes of the community itself?

By definition, OPEN END means having no predetermined limits or boundaries, which is exactly the aim of this participatory exhibition. We want to explore all dimensions of “openness” by making Kääntöpaikka Gallery a shared and accessible space where the community has a sense of ownership by manifesting its presence. We will be capturing the community’s heart in a particular moment in time knowing that a community has a constantly changing face, therefore an open end to it.

OPEN END: a community portrait is a growing exhibition where you can portray meaningful members of the community in Arabia and surrounding neighbourhoods. We want to see through your eyes who they are: a family member, your friend from school, a companion animal or even yourself!

Every Thursday in October during the gallery opening hours (10.00-18.00) you and friends or relatives from all ages and backgrounds can drop by Kääntöpaikka and contribute to the exhibition by making a self-portrait or a portrait of a loved one (human or non-human) using the materials available on site for drawing and collage. Your artwork will be straight away part of the exhibition. The exhibition will be organically growing and evolving throughout the month of October thanks to your contributions.

Instead of an exhibition opening we will have a “open-END-ing” event on Thursday 28.10. from 16.00 to 18.00 at Kääntöpaikka. We invite the whole community to come and experience the outcome of this mosaic of portraits created throughout the whole month. What do you think this collective portrait will look like?
