Shadow Room ry

Shadow Room ry is a community of alternative working cultures, bold ideas and new ways of doing things.

Who we are

We bring together people working in art, science, entrepreneurship and innovation who share curiosity, a desire to experiment and the will to build a different kind of future.

We are a multidisciplinary network, a mycelium in which different skills, perspectives and working cultures meet. We create space for creative work, research, experimentation and collaboration across the boundaries of fields.

We are interested in the margins, in phenomena outside the mainstream and in possibilities that have not yet been brought into the spotlight.

We do not just look for alternatives. We build them.

Shadow Chamber (Varjohuone)

The Shadow Chamber is a year-round meeting place and workshop for the association's members. It is a test laboratory and a think tank for our activities, where small, spontaneous gatherings can be held at any time.

The Shadow Chamber is located in Hakkila, and most of the association's activities take place there. It is also the home of art workshops and artistic work. The association's members hold micro-events in the Shadow Chamber all year round, and small private events can also be arranged there.
