The Riot Grrrl Phenomenon in Finland - Discussion

The riot grrrl phenomenon emerged in the early 1990s in the United States and reached Finland about a decade later. How did this phenomenon manifest itself at the turn of the millennium in Finland, and what were its consequences? The discussion features Aksa Pajala, Eeva Partanen, and Havu Kauppinen, moderated by Siri Törölä from the Punk Museum. Following the discussion, Sini Anderson's documentary The Punk Singer about Kathleen Hanna will be screened at Kino Regina at 5 p.m.

This event is part of the exhibition Punk! - 50 Years of Sparkle on Helsinki's Streets, organized by Hakasalmen huvila and the Punk Museum, opening at Hakasalmen huvila on Friday, October 23. The discussion sessions serve as introductions to Kino Regina's film series Punk 50 Years, which begins on Sunday, October 25.
