Shadow Club (Varjo Klubi)

Art opens perspectives that words alone cannot reach.

The Shadow Club is a discussion and event concept that tackles topical social questions boldly and with an open mind.

Each club is built around a chosen theme. Expert talks, personal experiences, art performances and open discussion bring different, sometimes even conflicting, perspectives to the same subject.

The Shadow Club challenges habitual ways of thinking and shows that art is an equal part of critical public debate. The dialogue between art, research and entrepreneurship gives rise to a new kind of working culture with purpose, direction, identity and meaning.
