7 + 1 = 8

7 + 1 = 8. EXHIBITION, the eighth exhibition organized by the Finskasin Cooperative. This time, the theme is the child. The exhibition is aimed at both children and adults.

On offer:

Educational objects:
A coat rack, practice plates, thumb mugs, and children’s soaps.
Stories, a fairy nest, and a woodlouse. Furniture. Items for home play.
Marionette birds. Bird farm. Clothes and blankets.

Art:
Skateboard landscapes and Mappa Mundi…

Artworks:
Children’s jewelry, christening gifts, and baptismal bowls.

Now we’re going,
now we’re going,
all to visit heaven.
Now we’re going,
now we’re going,
let’s see where we’ll find it.
I’m so excited already,
it pinches in my stomach.
Kaarina Helakisa, 1965
