Flamboyant TV personality Mamou is making a comeback! Invited to Finland to film a special episode, he sets out to teach the world how to integrate into the happiest country on Earth—through karaoke.

An interactive video installation, the work invites viewers to join Mamou, step into the spotlight, and become part of the show.

Dora Dalila Cheffi (b. 1990, Helsinki) lives and works between Tunis and Helsinki. Her work encompasses painting, video and installation.

Initially trained in art education, in which she obtained a BA from Aalto University School of Art, Design, and Architecture, where she also studied sculpture and painting, her practice developed to encompass a practice that centres on a highly personal approach to painting and video. Much of Cheffi’s work centres around observations and immediate experience, which are translated into works characterised by vivid colours and forms.

Her most recent body of work, titled Paper Thorn and A Prickly Leaf, consisted of a video piece and a series of paintings. The works were partly produced during her residency at the Serlachius Residency in Finland and were first exhibited at Forum Box and Porvoo Art Hall in Finland in 2025. In 2026, she will exhibit at Selma Feriani Gallery in Tunis and at the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris. She will also take part in an exhibition curated by the contemporary art museum Kiasma for Oulu, European Capital of Culture 2026.
