On March 23rd, The Finnish Cultural and Academic Institutes network launched the Together Alone -project: a fast progressing open call for artists and creatives, many of whose projects were cancelled or postponed due to the COVID-19. Nine weeks and 437 applications later, we have now commissioned 20 artists, creatives and collectives around the globe to reflect upon the current situation through diverse artistic practices. We are incredibly thankful for every application and extremely moved by how creatives have mirrored the major social upheavals of our times through the arts, and most importantly – have done so together. For the third and final application round of Together Alone, we have selected eight projects out of no less than 166 applications:
- H-ome by Emrecan Tanis
- In-between by Anna Nykyri
- Out of the Flood by Invisible Flock & SubZero
- Soft Variations – Online by Sonya Lindfors
- Untitled by Caracara Collective
- Untitled by Miila Westin
- Unum by Sakari Männistö
- We need to talk about the future by Anne Pajunen and Psychopomp! Theatre Collective
We will soon share more details of the individual commissioned projects, so remember to follow our social media channels and the hashtag #togetheralonefi for more details.
