Riiko Sakkinen: Los moimoi de Fuengirola
Serlachius Headquarters, Mänttä-Vilppula
- 15.6.2024–16.2.2025
Riiko Sakkinen's exhibition and research project on the Finnish people living in a Costa de Sol in Spain.
Fuengirola, on Spain’s Costa del Sol, is home to a community of around 30,000 Finns, whose members do not bother to learn the local language or customs. They live their own semi-isolated lives, spending their time comfortably in Finnish bars and relying on their own Finnish shops, services and institutions. Indeed, the Fuengirola local government has named its municipality “Finland’s southernmost town”.
Riiko Sakkinen's (b. 1976) research for the exhibition has been funded by Kone Foundation, and it produces a view of the substance of Finnishness cloaked in an anthropological guise. The curator of the exhibition is Pauli Sivonen.
