On a rainy Friday in September, the colourful lobby of the Helsinki City Museum buzzed with curiosity as attendees gathered for an event organised by Heidi Seppälä and Julia Ojanen. The focus of the evening was whiteness and racialisation, featuring an interesting program that included a thought-provoking panel discussion, round table exercises to foster collective thinking, a dance performance from Bruno Zambrano created to inspire deeper reflection, and a social gathering to cap off the night with conversation and connection.

The event was created with support from Art Promotion Centre Finland, City of Helsinki, City of Helsinki Museum and Villa Karo Cultural Institute.
