In the Forest's Care - Forest Haiku Workshop

In the forest haiku workshop, participants learn to write haiku poems on forest themes. Haiku is a Japanese poetic form with 17 syllables distributed across three lines in the ratio 5-7-5. The workshop is led by musician and theatre expression instructor Katja Luhtala.

The workshop is part of the multisensory exhibition and event series "In the Forest's Care", which explores the future of forests through art, science, and participation. The exhibition runs in Kanneltalo's gallery from Fri 14. to Sat 29.8., and the programme includes several events:
