Open call!
This is an open call for choirs or choir enthusiasts in the greater Helsinki area to participate in a performance to commemorate Ilma Lindgren, who fought for everyone’s right to roam free and forage (jokaisenoikeus 1914-1920). It all started with a bucket of lingonberries picked on an island.
The event consists of a 90 minute workshop, a gathering at Hakaniemi, a 30 minute parade from Hakaniemi market square to Caisa Cultural Center and a celebration at Caisa from 13:30 onwards.
The event is part of Lotta Petronella’s work Materia Medica of Islands with chef Sami Tallberg and composer Lau Nau curated by Giovanna Esposito Yussif for Helsinki Biennial.

The two-days gathering brings together lectures, conversations, performances, screenings, sonic interventions and a parade commemorating Ilma Lindgren, who brought Everyone’s Right in Finland. The programme is curated by Giovanna Esposito Yussif, Artistic Director of Museum of Impossible Forms.
