What’s it like to create on an island? What’s been going on in the B28 residency building? We interview artists who’ve worked in B28 and other creatives on islands in the Nordic Region.
Come and be inspired by residency opportunities within the Nordic art and culture scene with a focus on creative processes. We’ll be offering drinks and snacks.
The launch event will take place both in person at our library in Kaisaniemi and online. Register for the event through this link (opens in a new tab).
You can watch the livestream below. A recording of the event will also be available here afterwards.
