Opening on Helsinki Day (12 June) 2021, the much-anticipated Helsinki Biennial on Vallisaari island combines art, eco-awareness, and striking surroundings
Helsinki Biennial will take place for the first time from
12 June to 26 September 2021 on Vallisaari island, located in the Helsinki Archipelago. Uniting the maritime island with the city of Helsinki, the inaugural edition of the biennial, titled The Same Sea, will also extend to the mainland, with artworks and events invigorating the Finnish capital.
An extensive programme of real-life contemporary art exhibitions, workshops, events, and educational activities will be available to in-person audiences as permitted by COVID-19 restrictions, as well as a vast array of digital initiatives accessible for remote audiences, including a new collaboration with Facebook Open Arts. Despite the challenges posed over the last year, all announced artists and artist groups will exhibit their artworks as originally envisioned.
