16.5.–27.6.2026 Jussi Lautu: IN/VISIBILITY
The exhibition eflects on the politics of visibility. The works in the exhibition ask whether you must be visible and on what terms. When fighting for the rights of minorities, a photograph is often used for its evidentiary power—that's when making people and phenomena visible takes centre stage. However, otherness is not always visible, or bringing it forth can put the people in the pictures in a vulnerable position.

16.5.–27.6.2026 Tuulia Iso-Tryykäri: You Are Here
Everyday, ordinary materials wrap around the human body, forming compositions and telling new stories. The human figure presents itself to be seen, while the compositions draw from the traditions of portrait painting.
