Finnish Artist
in New York: Jaakko Heikkilä
Tuesday
April 22 6:00pm
When the world situation is in drastic change and many tensions, we learn how
people can be approached in different places in life and while getting to know
Jaakko Heikkilä and his work. We learn more about that people are not so
different, whether you live in New York City or in a small Finnish fishing village.
A common thread in Jaakko’s work is the
process of meeting people across different cultures and also the exploration
of minorities.
FREE EVENT, BUT WE NEED TO KNOW IF YOU WILL JOIN US:
