13.5. – 6.9.2026

The artists and works selected for Generation 2026 offer an unfiltered view into the concerns, struggles and dreams of today’s young artists. The Generation triennial, now held for the fourth time, brings together 50 artists and collectives. The artists and works selected for Generation 2026 offer an unfiltered view into the concerns, struggles and dreams of today’s young artists. They blur the boundaries between traditional art genres and invite us to confront the most pressing social questions of our time. The creativity of these 15–23-year-old artists is multidisciplinary, bold and unapologetically confident.

The Generation 2026 artists explore identity, community, belonging and power structures — while questioning the norms and diverse forms of control that surround us. Many seek connection to their background and cultural heritage, reflecting also on nature, the environmental crisis or turning their gaze to the past. Amplifying marginalised voices, examining the impact of technology, and using humour and absurdity as tools of resistance, these artists show us a generation that views the world with critical eyes — and carves out its own place in it, openly and without compromise.

The group exhibition Generation 2026 opens at Amos Rex in May 2026.

The Exhibition’s partners are Amos Andersons Fond, Nuori taide and Tero Saarinen Company.
