What is Taidepiste?
Taidepiste is Uniarts Helsinki’s event series, which explores social phenomena through multidisciplinary discussions and art experiences that are free and open to the public. Taidepiste events are organised once a month on Uniarts Helsinki’s campus in Töölö or Sörnäinen and live streamed on Uniarts Helsinki’s YouTube channel.
During the academic year 2021–2022, Uniarts Helsinki invited a total of 50 guests to Taidepiste to talk about a variety of themes, such as imperfection, beauty, war, trolls, forgotten composers, utopias, generational experiences and the fundamentals of a thriving arts sector. The events also featured captivating artworks and performances by Uniarts Helsinki’s students and other artists.
Taidepiste is supported by the Louise and Göran Ehrnrooth Foundation.
