Moving in November starts in just a couple of days! Before we kick off, we would like to share some special announcements with you.
November 5th: Balázs Oláh – Open Studio & Discussion @Eskus
We warmly invite you to an open studio installation by Hungarian dance artist Balázs Oláh on November 5th at 12.00 at Eskus. You are welcome to stay as long as you wish.

Also, on November 5th at 14.00, there will be a discussion with Balázs Oláh and researcher Katalin Miklóssy about the current situation of performing arts in Hungary. The discussion will explore questions such as: How do artists operate under political pressure, and how can international cooperation and solidarity strengthen artistic freedom? The event is organised in collaboration with Eskus and TINFO and will be hosted by Linnea Stara from TINFO. The discussion will be held in English.
Artists Announced for Exhibition at Caisa’s Gallery on November 7th & 8th
As part of the performative installation Don’t thank for the food, taking place November 7th & 8th at Caisa, Antonia Atarah and her working group have invited young BIPOC visual artists to present their work in Caisa’s Gallery through an open call.
Atarah’s performative installation is a utopian living room created by and for BIPOC communities – a space of home, dreams, joy, nurture and rest. The works in the gallery enter into dialogue with this setting, expanding its meanings.
The artists exhibiting in the gallery are: Iida Valmé, kemelo sehlapelo, Selma Mataich, Shaghayegh Ansari, Victor Miyano and Vivian WONG Wing Lam. Together, the artists have chosen the exhibition title: A body, many homes, and a phrase related to the group exhibition: from the ground to the earth, we low flying and have travelled far…
Gallery opening hours: November 7th 17.30-22.30 and November 8th 10.00-20.00
November 8th – Addition to the Focus on the Local Landscape – Bianca Hisse & Laura Cemin: Their Eyes Will Sear Holes In The Night Sky
In the frame of Focus on the Local Landscape Moving in November presents the premiere of the short film Their Eyes Will Sear Holes In The Night Sky by Bianca Hisse and Laura Cemin, in collaboration with Al Huriya Dabke, a Palestinian dance group based in Helsinki, whose practice the film follows. The group consists of people from Palestine together with Finnish participants who have chosen to learn and carry forward the tradition of dancing Dabke. Spanning different ages and backgrounds, the group gathers weekly in Helsinki to dance as an act of resistance in the face of ongoing erasure.
You can see the screening on November 8th at 14.00, 15.00 & 16.00 at Caisa’s auditorium. Duration: 10min.
All of these events have free admission, and pre-registration is not required.
See you very soon at Moving in November!
