Juha Vehmaanperä: Only Crafts 11.9.–28.11.2027

The exhibition immerses visitors in knitwear artist Juha Vehmaanperä's Interexterior Decoration collection, exploring the world and inspirations surrounding it. The collection addresses Finnish home textiles, craft traditions, queer thinking, and the role of craft in today's technology-driven society.

The central theme is the presentation of familiar Finnish textile imagery within a fashion context, occupying a space between art and knitwear design. Home is associated with safety, self-expression and a sense of belonging. Clothing serves as a home beyond the home. It is also a means of communicating who we are and how we view the world without words.

Juha Vehmaanperä (b. 1993) is a Helsinki-based knitwear artist, recipient of the Taito Finlandia Prize 2025 and the City of Helsinki Artist Award 2026.
