Alone

Loneliness can be physical isolation or an emotional state. Anyone can feel alone, regardless of social position or age. It is also possible to feel lonely in a crowd, even in a close relationship. The exhibition explores a phenomenon that is often invisible. A thing you feel you are struggling with alone actually touches many others as well.

The texts in the exhibition were produced in collaboration with groups at Helsinki Missio and Barnavårdsföreningen i Finland r.f. The group members wrote about their own experiences and feelings inspired by the works in the exhibition.

The artists featured in the exhibition are Malin Ahlsved, Gun Holmström, Ben Kaila, Jonna Kina, Maarit Kotiranta, Maarit Nevanperä, Heini Partanen, Anssi Pulkkinen, Taneli Rautiainen, Jaakko Rustanius, Maija Saksman, Alli Savolainen, Iiu Susiraja, Helena Öst, and Charlotta Östlund.
