Frame welcomes you to meet curator Laura Serejo Genes on Thursday, February 27, from 5 to 7 pm at its office (Töölönkatu 11 A, Helsinki).

Laura Serejo Genes, together with Kiyoto Koseki, work as Frame Curatorial Research Fellows in 2024–2025. Their fellowship is organised together with Queens Museum in New York.

For the event at Frame, Genes will present their curatorial research project Santa Fe, Finland. It is followed by an informal gathering over refreshments. The event is open for all to participate.

Focusing on the curatorial potential of diplomacy, philanthropy, and industry, Santa Fe, Finland examines the work of Yrjö Alfred Paloheimo, Commissioner of the Finnish Pavilion of the 1939–40 New York World’s Fair, and Leonora Frances Curtin Paloheimo, founder of the Native Market in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The Paloheimos’ collaborative activities from the 1940s onwards serve as examples to consider shifts and developments in cultural and political imaginaries from the Post-War era through neoliberal globalization.

If you can’t attend in person, you can join the discussion online via Zoom.
