Sari Sandberg 'Sen när – sitten kun' exhibition

2.9.2024 – 27.9.2024

Packhusgatan 4, Haparanda, Ruotsi

Haparanda stadsbibliotek, Packhusgatan 4.

‘Then when I retire, I have time….’

Pekka had a one-man carpenter company with own wood workshop. He postponed vacations and weekends off, if there was a new order and never knew if there will be work after that.

All those dreams and trips that had to be come true in retirement were left unfulfilled. When Pekka retired, he was tired and then cancer was discovered. Life changed and the ability to move went away.

The photos show Pekka’s stalled life, sadness and fatigue, while in the outside world time moves forward with colors.

2.9 – 27.9.2024.

There is a bag check at the entrance gates, so we kindly ask you to arrive early so that you can enjoy the event in time.  This year, there will be two entry routes to the area (see map here) and the aim is to carry out the checks as smoothly as possible. So, it is a wish from the staff that the guests will not to carry any bags 

It is also forbidden to bring any fireworks to the event because firing is not allowed in the city centrum. Fireworks found during the bag check will be confiscated.

Weaving Kiosk

5.12.2022 – 11.12.2022

Rajalla På Gränsen Länsiranta 10, 95400 Tornio

Between December 5-11 textile designer and artistic researcher Rosa Tolnov Clausen is visiting Haparanda-Tornio, as part of Luleå Art and Craft Biennale and in collaboration with Aine Art Museum, Haparanda municipality and Resurscentrum för konst.

Rosa Tolnov Clausen’s practice focus on how to make hand-weaving visible and accessible in contemporary urban contexts. In the shopping center Rajalla she will set up a project called the Weaving Kiosk.

The Weaving Kiosk is a public space where weaving tools and materials are made available for anyone to use. Together with the tools and materials, collections of weaving samples and readily designed product proposals are presented that have their base in traditional Nordic weaving techniques. Using these for inspiration or as production guidelines, participants in the Weaving Kiosk can choose to remake an example from among them, or explore by their own choice of yarns and techniques their adaptation into products of their liking. This way, products that relate to individual purposes and needs can be freely created.

In addition to the drop-in mode of the Kiosk we would like to invite groups of students from local design and art educations to visit the Kiosk. Therefore, if you would like to visit between December 5-9, between 1-7pm please let us know.
