Lempipaikka exhibition brings the stories of Multisilta and Peltolammi to Tampere City Hall

The Lempipaikka photography exhibition opened in the street-level windows of Tampere City Hall on 16 September, inviting viewers into the meaningful places of residents from Multisilta and Peltolammi. The exhibition's title, Lempipaikka ("Favourite Place"), reflects its focus on locations that hold special significance for local people. The exhibition forms part of community arts activities taking place in the neighbourhoods.

Community artists Hilkka Hyttinen and Susanna Lyly invited residents of Multisilta and Peltolammi to share their favourite places, where they were also photographed.

A favourite place may be a peaceful natural setting, a familiar street close to home, a place for meeting others, or an environment intertwined with personal memories. In Lyly’s photographs, residents are portrayed in places that are important to them, while the accompanying texts feature stories, memories and experiences collected by Hyttinen.

The exhibition is part of the Paikan henki & Lempipaikka community arts project created by Hyttinen and Lyly. 
– Take a moment to pause in front of a photograph and see a place through someone else’s eyes. You may even discover your own favourite place in the process, Hilkka Hyttinen and Susanna Lyly invite.

Peltolammi and Multisilta were part of Finland’s national Suburban Development Programme between 2020 and 2022. The neighbourhoods are now included in the Tampere Neighbourhood Development Programme 2026–2029, which gives special attention to their continued development. The City of Tampere Public Cultural Services contributes to this work, among other things by organising community arts activities.

The exhibition can be viewed from the street around the clock. During City Hall opening hours, it can also be visited indoors.
