COLLECTIVE ROUTES – 100000km of inspiration
Join us for the opening of Collective Routes – 100000 km of Inspiration on Friday 21 August at 17:00–21:00, taking place across two venues: The Red House at Torinranta (Aitta 7, Saaristonkatu 1) and Itu Artlab (Hallituskatu 9, opposite Oulu City Hall).
Explore both exhibition spaces by hopping aboard Potna Pekka, Oulu's city train, with free rides between the venues from 17:30 to 19:30.
The exhibition features works by 14 international artists who took part in the two-year Tiny Spaces Deep Connections project. Together, they travelled by train, ferry and bus for a total of over 100,000 kilometres across Europe, connecting with local communities, finding inspiration, and creating new artworks along the way to residencies in Oulu, Potsdam and Athens.
Collective Routes – 100000 km of Inspiration marks the culmination of this unique international project and celebrates the rich diversity of contemporary artistic practices. The exhibition is part of the Oulu2026 European Capital of Culture programme and is open to the public Monday–Saturday at 12:00–19:00 until Saturday 29 August.
Come and discover the stories, encounters, and creative journeys behind the artworks, and celebrate the opening with us!
