OAF X HAM Talks focuses on curating and exhibiting outsider art. In the seminar, the OAF team will present the festival’s inclusive curating process. Perspectives on curating outsider art will be provided by gatekeepers in the art field: the Helsinki Art Museum HAM team and Jussi Koitela, Programme Manager at Frame Finland. Opening words will be held by Sofia Lanusse (USA), Director of the Outsider Art Fair. There will also be plenty of time for discussion – come and share your thoughts!
After the seminar, we will organise an opening event for the visual programme of the festival in the HAM lobby from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. We welcome all participants of the seminar to this event as well, to meet the artists of the festival, and enjoy coffee!
