“Our world is impacted by sudden global shifts and a growing social uncertainty. Information, and the lack of it, are to be found more than ever before; at the same time, a busy and consumption-based lifestyle does not encourage pausing to be still, even when it would be necessary. Experiencing art is surrendering to a moment which feels timeless; it is lasting imagination otherwise. With the help of art, one can experience change more deeply and escape for a moment into alternate worlds.”

Read the foreword by Minna Leinonen, Artistic Director of the Tampere Biennale 2024.
