Institutional Day

08:30 – 15:30

With: Urban Apa

11.5.2026 8:30-15:30

During the first day of #StopHatredNow 2026 we invite those working at different art and culture institutions to discuss, share tools and strategies as well as dream of possible futures.

What is the role and responsibility of an art institution in accelerating diversity, equity, and inclusion? What are the horizons of art and culture? How could an institution be a beacon of hope in the dark, promoting equality, diversity and joy?

The institution day is primarily aimed at people working in art and cultural institutions, but anybody interested is welcome. The day will be held onsite at Taike in Hakaniemi and the working languages will be English and Finnish.
