SUMMARY:Via Ruuska | Self care self cure & Lifeline\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:During the Queer History Month Via Ruuska´s works Self care self cure and Lifeline will be on display on the artelaiset wall. \n”The works express queer joy through self-discovery and ways and platforms for this expression. In Self care self cure a make-up brush kit serves as a protective case for my playful self-portrait. The red and black hearts\, borrowing their colour from the anarchists\, create the outermost protective buffer. In Lifeline\, two glossy angels hover between the cover of my smartphone. They dream of a self-expression that transcends the boundaries of the web and the physical world. A force field glows in the dark around the protective shell.” \nVia Ruuska is a visual artist working with sculpture and mixed media. Their work often explores the division between public and private\, home and work\, everyday life and leisure or gallery and city. Recently Ruuska has also tried to figure out the significance of their trans identity for their artistic work and in relation to the subjects that interest them\, such as the city. \n  \nDetails \nSelf care self cure\nOil on wood\, inkjet print\, plastic packaging\, steel\n30 x 21\,5 cm\, 2024 \nLifeline\nWood\, Plexiglass\, inkjet print\, photoluminescent film\n21 x 15 cm\, 2024 \nPhoto: Via Ruuska \n  \n1.–30.11.2024 \nLocation: Titanik\nItäinen Rantakatu 8\n20700 Turku\, Finland \nWebsite: titanik.fi\nInstagram: @titanikgalleria \nOpen:\nTue–Fri 12–18\nSat–Sun 12–16 \nFree entrance \n  \nAccessibility \nTitanik is located at street level along Itäinen Rantakatu.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Escape to Moominvalley & Rainbow Path
DESCRIPTION:Photo: Tove Jansson and the cat Psipsina in her Helsinki studio\, 1962 Photo: Finnish Heritage Agency \nThe Architecture & Design Museum’s new main exhibition Escape to Moominvalley opens on 10 October 2025\, highlighting the global celebrations of the 80th anniversary of the Moomin stories. The beloved Moomins\, created by Finnish artist and author Tove Jansson (1914–2001)\, have become cultural icons in Finland and beyond. Jansson originally envisioned Moominvalley as a safe haven in turbulent times. Escape to Moominvalley explores how Jansson perceived architecture and design in her own life and how these elements are reflected in the stories of Moominvalley. \nEscape to Moominvalley: Reflecting Reality Through Tove Jansson’s Imaginary World \nThe exhibition takes a fresh look at the connections between Jansson\, the Moomins\, architecture\, and design. The journey begins with places and landscapes close to Jansson’s heart\, before leading visitors into the imaginative spaces of Moominvalley. The exhibition reveals how places central to Jansson’s life\, such as her Helsinki Atelier home and the remote summer island Klovharun\, shaped her creative world. Through archived materials\, personal objects\, and photographs\, visitors can step into these spaces and experience Jansson’s persona. \nAt the heart of the exhibition lies a reimagined Moominvalley where the stories’ environments are viewed through the perspectives of their inhabitants. What does “shared space” encompass in the context of the Moomin family’s bath house\, a building ultimately claimed by Too-Ticky and the invisible shrews during the winter? \nMoominvalley as Refuge \nJansson’s stories often reflect the turbulent reality of their time. She began writing them during World War II\, amidst the bombings of Helsinki. Her first Moomin story\, The Moomins and the Great Flood (1945)\, tells the tale of a family scattered by disaster searching for shelter\, eventually finding a home and safety in Moominvalley. For Jansson herself\, Moominvalley became a personal refuge. \nIn the same spirit\, Escape to Moominvalley offers visitors both shelter from autumn storms and a mirror to the upheavals of the real world. Themes drawn from the Moomin stories\, such as home and homelessness\, solitude and community\, safety and insecurity\, present timely questions about the potential significance of Moominvalley and Jansson’s relationship to spaces for our modern times. In addition\, the exhibition showcases contemporary approaches by designers and architects who explore the themes of survival\, shelter\, community\, and resilience. \nThe exhibition is organised in collaboration with Moomin Characters.  \nRainbow Path: Escape to Moominvalley \nThe Rainbow Path is a norm-critical path within the Escape to Moominvalley exhibition. It explores the diversity of gender and sexuality through the lens of Tove Jansson’s life and art. The Rainbow Path creates space for interpretation and personal reflection: how do spaces\, objects\, and cultural ideals shape identity\, and what meanings might they carry from a queer perspective? The path does not offer ready-made answers but invites visitors to view the exhibition differently – with curiosity\, empathy\, and an appreciation for diversity. The Rainbow Path is available as a printed booklet at the museum. The booklet can be borrowed free of charge during the museum visit. The contents of the Rainbow Path are also available in text format on this website. \nAccessibility and safer space \nArchitecture and design belongs to everyone. We at the Architecture and Design Museum want everyone to have the opportunity to have a safe museum experience and participate as themselves\, without fear of discrimination or harassment. Read more about our principles for a safer space. \nThe Architecture and Design Museum is accessible. Read more about accessibility.

SUMMARY:Webinar: “Contamination of the National Body”? How the Nazi Regime tried to intensify the persecution of Norwegian queer men\, and why they failed.
DESCRIPTION:Skeivt arkiv\, Norwegian Queer Archives\, and the Nordic-Baltic Queer Archival Network are pleased to invite you to a webinar by historian Runar Jordåen on March 16 (Monday)\, at 15:30-17:00 CET. \n“Contamination of the National Body”? How the Nazi Regime tried to intensify the persecution of Norwegian queer men\, and why they failed. \nIn 1942\, the German Occupation Regime and the collaborationist Quisling Government suggested changing the largely dormant prohibition against sex between men\, Section 213 in the Norwegian Penal Code. Despite this initiative\, which came from powerful circles and was justified with nazi ideology (homosexuality was described as “contamination of the national body”)\, the revision never happened. \nDuring the webinar\, historian Runar Jordåen will present a close reading of archive materials from public archives and will discuss why the proposal failed to be passed. The presentation is based on his research that was part of a collaboration with other scholars\, and will briefly describe their research findings as well. \nRunar Jordåen is a historian working at Skeivt arkiv (The Norwegian Queer Archives). Since 2022 he has been a part of a research collaboration with Maria Fritsche\, Hans Wiggo Kristiansen and Camilla Hedvig Maartmann providing new knowledge about queer people during the Nazi occupation of Norway 1940-1945. \nThe webinar will be hosted on Google Meet. The link will be sent to the emails provided at the registration. Please register here until March 12. The registration can be stopped earlier\, limiting the number of participants. \nThe webinar is provided by Skeivt arkiv (The Norwegian Queer Archives) within the framework of the Nordic-Baltic Queer Archival Network which is partially funded by the Nordic Culture Point. The network is a collaboration of išgirsti\, Lithuanian Queer Archive (LT)\, Skeivt arkiv\, Norwegian Queer Archives (NO)\, QRAB\, Archives and Library of the Queer Movement (SE)\, Friends of Queer History (FI)\, and individual scholars (DK\, EE\, LV)\, continuing NNAQH initiative.
