Kati Rapia ja Ilona Valkonen Notes on the State of the World
31.10.2026
Opening in the museum’s studio space, WAMx introduces a flexible, artist-led programme focused on collaboration and exchange. Its activities bring together different artistic disciplines and practitioners, emphasising art’s potential to engage with and influence society.
WAMx will open with Notes on the State of the World, a body of work by serial and photographic artist Kati Rapia and visual artist Ilona Valkonen. Working in collaboration with young people, the artists will collect marine litter and lead photography workshops along the Baltic Sea, a region under significant environmental pressure.
During the summer of 2026, Rapia and Valkonen will conduct workshops with local youth in the Turku archipelago. These activities will be complemented by dancers from the Regional Dance Centre of Western Finland, who have participated in the youth workshops.
