About
Founded in Sweden in 2015, Noncitizen has organised film screenings, media workshops, public conversations, and cultural events across borders. Noncitizen opposes repressive boundaries between citizens and noncitizens; between those granted rights and those denied them. We do this by regularly creating forums for discussions and encounters, as well as supporting the production and archiving of films, images, and texts.
PUBLICS Youth Advisory Board is a collective of young adults working on contemporary art and cultural production at PUBLICS, Helsinki. As part of the network Future Futures with Index Foundation (Stockholm) and PRAKSIS (Oslo) they have been exploring the moving image as a medium to read and understand our present.
PUBLICS Youth Advisory Board 2024 are Akanksha Bhat, Arnav Ghurde, Helena Massuda Garcia, Isabella Oropeza, Joanna Lagerblom, Kaius Kuhmonen, Linh Dan Vu, Matilda Järvi, Yelyzaveta Babaieva, and Yu Yue. Micol Curatolo is the project coordinator.
Safer space
We wish the event to be a space of reflection, support, and grief when needed. We will arrange a quiet room if you need a break during the event. The films address sensitive topics through real-life stories and fiction. In the following paragraph, we’ll list content that may disturb you. The films’ descriptions and more information can be found below.
The films address: rejection of an application for asylum, episodes of racism, images of street conflict (no injuries are shown), homelessness, illness, homesickness, rehearsal of hunting and gun shots, animal carcass treated for food consumption.
If you or the person who are coming with are under 16 y.o., bring an older friend to keep you company.
