6.-11.11.2026

The Kaivanto Collective’s Anomalia Mining opens at Asbestos Art Space with a kaivoskekri event on November 6, 2026, at 18:00. At the kekri, we raise a toast to the deceased miners and the destroyed environment, while acknowledging our own entanglement with mining. The exhibition features the following works: the zine: In the center of Mining, a Body , screenings of MaanAlla and Etsijä, the sound piece Näkijä, the altar for Mineral Ancestors, and the Orebody of Outokumpu. On Saturday at 6:00 PM, visitors can experience Kiven Muisti performance (in finnish). On Sunday, a Mineralsomatic workshop (in finnish) will be held from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM (separate registration required). Throughout the week, screenings of the video works will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM. The series of events concludes on Wednesday with Anomalia Mining Aftercare, running from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

The Anomalia Mining project has delved into the “anomalies” arising between mining communities, mining companies, non-governmental organizations, non-human beings, and researchers. The work has been carried out between 2024 and 2026 in Helsinki, Outokumpu, and elsewhere in Finland, involving engagement with various stakeholders and the creation of performances. The Kaivanto Collective consists of Noora Kauppila, Ninni Kaminen, Kaisa Käärmemaa, and Jussi Salminen.
