14.-24.7.2022 Rastila Camping, Meri-Rastila, Kallahti
Opening 13.7.2022
This year, Porin kulttuuris\u00e4\u00e4t\u00f6\u2019s site-specific, process-based Pori Biennale 2022 takes place in Eastern Helsinki and explores the unique environments of Meri-Rastila – Kallahti area from architecture to nature. The theme, Visitors, refers to us – artists, curators, and artworks – as visitors in the area, but also to different visitors from human to nonhuman leaving traces and passing messages. The different historical layers – the protected nature in Kallahti peak as well as the non-protected neighborhood and housing blocks in Meri-Rastila – demonstrate ideologies and values that shape the fragile existence of the area and its residents. The Visitors explores alternative perspectives on how social and power structures manifest themselves in our surroundings, and how all living beings, in the end, are merely visiting.
