Jukka Ilmonen Presents the Results of the Metsäkissa2044 Project - Under the Forest's Protection

Project leader Jukka Ilmonen presents the results of the two-year Metsäkissa2044 project. The project's focus is on people's utopias for an ecological future - in contrast to today's ecological crisis. During the project, participants wrote utopian texts about the forest, which were updated as the process progressed. The texts were collected from participants in Metsäteatern and sound works, and the project tracked how participation in artistic production changed these utopias.

Other project members also present their own work: journalism, visual art, theatre, and music are on display. You can explore the full scope of the project at www.metsakissa.fi

The event is part of the exhibition and event series "Under the Forest's Protection", which examines the future of the forest through art, science, and participation. The exhibition and events are part of the City of Helsinki's cultural services environmental programme. Admission is free.
