Monikulttuurikalenteri2026: Safer Sound Principles

How can a place be explored, owned & shared through sonic dreams, memories, explorations & bodies? Is there silence? Is there stillness? What is the soundtrack of changing the world to a safer space?

The art workshop focuses on exploring safe & triggering sounds, rhythms, genres & soundscapes. You are welcome to bring your music instruments – as well as use the ones we provide. Anything can be an instrument. Coffee & tea are provided in the workshop, and you are welcome to bring your own snacks.

The art workshop is free and will be held on October 11 from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm at the Oulu Art Museum. Registration takes place at the art museum on the day of the workshop, and the participants will be accepted in the order of registration. No previous experience is required. We kindly ask to supervise children under 12.

Lölä Florina Vlasenko is Oulu-based community artist, producer & a political refugee of Ukrainian-Russian origin. In her artistic practice she focuses on recycling meanings of site & environment through sounds, music movement & improvisation around them. Finding harmony with rhythms of the city & own life has been a big part of her experimentations. She is fascinated by exploring the healing power of art in complex trauma contexts & relationships within the space.
