Soup Talks is a series of informal conversations with the artists presenting their work during the festival. The talks form a discursive line that goes through the festival and brings people together. We want to welcome the audience and the artists around a big table with a bowl of warm soup. Everybody is invited to join in, to listen, to pose questions and to take part in the discussions. Each of the talks will be hosted by an artist based in the Helsinki area.
The Soup Talks are organized together in collaboration with Caisa.

Laura Cemin (b. 1992) is an Italian visual artist and choreographer based in Helsinki. Her work delves into the choreographic power of language, examining how language influences movement and physical interactions. Her work has been presented both nationally and internationally at venues such as Kiasma Theatre, Helsinki Art Museum, the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Athens, and Bozar in Brussels. In addition to her artistic practice as an author, Laura works as a dance dramaturg and guest lecturer at various international institutions.
Eurídice Hernández Gomes is a Doctoral Researcher in Latin American Studies at the Doctoral Programme in Political, Societal, and Regional Changes at the University of Helsinki. She is dedicated to unveiling the intricate links between public spaces, migration dynamics, and identity development. In her doctoral thesis, Hernández examines the creation of Latin American “places” within the social infrastructure of the Helsinki Metropolitan Region and their impact on individuals with mixed Finnish-Latin American background. Eurídice applies ethnographic methods and arts-based research to explore the intersection between city spaces and transcultural identification.
