Over the last six weeks, nine artists have found themselves in a constellation, not brought together by intention but sorted by the Saari Residence. Magic happened.Tucked into the comfort and confines of the Saari Residence there has been a collision of artforms, desires, ideas, visions. We are experimenting with the tempo of life, the physical/mental endurance of humanity, we are loving the elasticity of language, we are making promises and we are leaning into a hug with the more than human.
Jokistudio showing is a chance for us to provide you a portal into this world, inviting you to temporarily join us. ???? ?????! ???????????? ??? ???? ????????!
