    Festival Norpas

    Norpas on tavallisille ihmisille suunnattu epätavallinen festivaali
    Viikonlopun aikana nähdään ja koetaan musiikkia, elokuvia, säestettyjä mykkäelokuvia, taidenäyttelyitä, installaatioita, performansseja, sirkusesityksiä sekä tietenkin myös ruokaa, juomaa ja kapina tunnelmaa. Oleellisena osana tapahtumassa ovat myös erilaiset työpajat, keskustelut ja taiteilijarupattelut.

    Taalintehtaan ruukkikylässä festarikokemus syventyy ja tunnelma tiivistyy. Norpaksessa voi juhlia aamuyöhön asti niin kuin millä tahansa rockfestarilla, ja jos seuraavana päivänä herätessä sattuu olemaan herkkä olo, on kylillä tarjolla näyttelyitä, ravintolapalveluita ja rauhallisempia esityksiä heti aamupäivästä asti.
    Norpaksessa taiteilijat ja yleisö elävät samassa hetkessä, hengittävät samaa ilmaa

    Tämän vuoden festivaalin pääartisteja ovat mm. tuareg-artisti Mdou Moctar Nigeristä, espanjalainen Proscritos DF -duo multi-instrumentti esityksineen, Värttinä, M.A. Numminen ja Pedro Hietanen, Esko Männikkö, Mika Kaski & Tapani Rinne sekä fantastiset elävällä musiikilla säestetyt mykkäelokuvaesitykset. Koko ohjelmisto löytyy nettisivuiltamme.

    Joukkorahoituskampanja on eräänlainen ennakkomyynnin ennakkomyynti, jossa jokaisessa vastineessa on pieni alennus. Minimitavoitteeseen pääseminen kattaa vastineiden tuotantokulut, siitä ylimenevä osuus on tervetullut lisä festivaalin järjestelykustannusten kattamiseen.

    Vastineet saat tapahtuman aikaan festivaalitoimistosta.
    Tervetuloa!

  • Kolibrí festivali spring 2016

    Kolibrí festivali spring 2016

    Kolibrí festivaali is much more than a children’s festival! It is a multidisciplinary artistic platform that focuses on the promotion of multiculturalism through art expressions. We embrace artistic expressions from various fields such as circus, music, painting and photography in our activities. We aim to work in an integral manner with people from all ages and backgrounds while focusing on sharing our culture with the Finnish society. Kolibrí festivaali recognizes and cherishes cultural differences, for they enrich our vision of the world.

    The core team of Kolibrí festivaali is a group of foreign nationals that have adopted Helsinki as their home and offers activities free of charge for children and their families. We work hard to make of this space a stage that enhances the visibility of immigrant artists, creative and talented people with artistic proposals. While our focus is in sharing our culture from the Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries, the activities are offered to all children interested to join, regardless on their mother tongue. For the purpose, we offer workshopsand activities in various languages simultaneously, but what is more, we aim to share art that does not have any language barrier. The invited artists are resourceful and diverse and will use the support of new and old technology in order to engage the senses of children, their parents, grandparents, and whomever joins us.

    The raised money will be used to pay artists that would perform in the festival and to pay for the production expenses. Your contribution means the world to us. Big thanks!

  • artArctica festival 2016

    artArctica festival 2016

    The ecosystems and cultures of the Arctic are beautiful and inspiring – yet at the same time fragile. We believe that we have a lot to learn from people living in the Arctic, in closer connection to the world around them. That the Arctic is so much more than just an empty, icy landscape – it is alive, fascinating, full of stories.

    We passionately believe the Arctic is an inspiring place, and we want to share this with you.

    So we put together this festival.

    Like a snowball turning into an avalanche, artArctica festival is a small idea grown big: we’re now hosting photography exhibitions, installations, dance and music performances, feature films and short film selections – and we are lucky to have participants from every corner of the Arctic: Greenland, Canada, Russia, Norway, Finland, Denmark, the Faroe Islands.

    In the final stages of production, we have come a long way – and now we need your support to ensure we produce a high-quality event, for both artists and audience.

    We still need to cover certain travel expenses for the artists, as well as production expenses like printing large-format photographs and securing royalties rights for the films. By supporting this project, you are directly supporting grass-roots art-making in the Arctic.

    We are lucky to be supported by cultural foundations and grants, as well as various independent groups and
    organisations – and we need one last nudge, and that’s you. It’s the person we’re making this festival for: the
    Arctic enthusiast (even if you don’t know it yet), the artist, the admirer, the traveller, the story-teller. You. We
    need you, because without you our festival is just a private show.

    So help us make this festival a beautiful and unforgettable get-together – and be part of something bigger. Whether you can visit the festival, or live far away, but think this is the kind of thing that is worth happening, you can support us in one way or another.

    The festival is partly funded by Kulturkontakt Nord and Letterstedtska föreningen.

    It is happening in collaboration with the following organisations:

    Global Music Centre (FI)
    City-Sámit (FI)
    Walhalla Film (FI)
    Finnish Arctic Club (FI)
    Arctic Museum Nanoq (FI)
    Skábmagovat Film Festival (FI)
    Uummannaq Polar Institute (GL)
    Arctic Arts Institute (RU)
