How can we rewrite our own story while navigating our inner contradictions? Can we change our perspective in order to grow and move towards more understanding, tolerance and compassion? How to reconnect with ourselves, with others, with nature and the environment? What is the role of art in this journey?
Our new program Hors Pistes / Paths Less Travelled attempts to answer these questions through art, music, cinema, sustainable gastronomy and discussions in early 2025 at Institut finlandais.
Hors Pistes / Paths Less Travelled is a program that explores the trajectories of our ever-changing lives, and the paths we take to change. We have invited creatives from different fields to interpret this theme and to develop with us a unique program, which starts on 17 January, 2025 with the exhibition Reversals / Renversements by photographer Svante Gullichsen, to be discovered throughout the season. At the same time, discover our pop-up shop in collaboration with Archetype, presenting a selection of contemporary Finnish designers.
