_FESTIVAL

 ₂₀₂₄

The thematic landscape of GÁTT Nordic Arts Festival held in Helsinki 2024 was on the prefix ‘re-’, which refers to the past and the future. It means doing something again; a repetition. The repetition also pushing for change and reflection; by doing something again but differently.

GÁTT Nordic Arts Festival is a multidisciplinary nomadic festival held biannually, each time in a different Nordic country.

The festival aims to strengthen collaboration between artists, build a community that expands locally with each edition, and give space for experimentation, emerging ideas, and expressions by presenting a range of diverse events that previously have taken the shape of exhibitions, performances, and concerts.

The festival is an artist-led festival made by the GÁTT Community and was first held in Copenhagen in 2022 at Koncertkirken, followed by the second edition of the festival held in Helsinki in 2024 as the friend festival of Helsinki Festival at Ylioppilasteatteri, MUU Helsinki Contemporary Art Centre, Forum Box, and the Hietsun pavilion. 

 

GÁTT Nordic Arts Festival 2024 is made by the GÁTT Community members Tytti Arola (FI), Vár Bech Árting (FO), Nayab Ikram (AX), Anna Jarosz (PL), Ronja Louhivuori (FI) and Walter Sallinen (FI).

GÁTT Nordic Arts Festival 2024 is managed by Åland Action Art r.f.
