Linkki
24/25
Finland
Linkki aims to establish sustainable, long-term collaborations with international partners to support Finland based artists and curators in developing their exhibitions, art projects, and residencies abroad. It also facilitates visits by artists and curators from abroad to Finland.
The project is dedicated to building a professional network that connects artists, curators, and other professionals, creating new collaborations and opportunities. By promoting cross-cultural exchange, Linkki seeks to develop innovative projects and provide art professionals with the chance to learn from diverse cultural environments. At its core, the project aims to establish a platform for dialogue between international artistic communities and those in Finland. Currently, the focus is on building dialogue between the artistic communities of Finland (Helsinki) and Portugal (Aveiro/Porto).
