My work, The Invisible Fighters, in the exhibition! I attended the opening with Anniina on Friday ☺️
Visual Catalysts is about art as a powerful visual global language. The term visual catalysts comes from the question of how photos, video, and other visual presentations show reality and increase our thinking of of change towards a sustainable circular economy.
It’s a special exhibition apart of the photo festival, produced by the project, a project searching for catalysts for a circular economy.
Backlight Photo Festival is one of the oldest and largest international photography festivals in Northern Europe, ongoing every three years since 1987.
The exhibition includes 37 artists from all over the world. I’m so grateful to be part of this amazing group of artists, and fun fact I’m the youngest of the artists featured.
My work is based on documentary photos I took of the Helsinki Climate Strike last year on September 27th. The series is meant to highlight my, and younger, generations current fight for the future.
Thank you everyone behind the scenes who made the exhibition and book happen!
