Kuluneet (Worn) – Workshop on Physical Activity, Architecture, and Visual Arts

Sports facilities – gyms, training halls, fitness studios, and athletic fields – are everyday spaces where we exert ourselves. Moving makes us tune into life and feel alive. But how do the traces of wear on ourselves influence the way we perceive signs of wear in our surroundings?

In this workshop, we will explore and make these connections visible. The workshop involves physical activity in Töölö Sports Hall, followed by a guided visual art making session.

The organisers, Lotta Aulamo and Miina Kanko, are architects and art educators focused on developing methods and approaches in architectural education.

Instructions for participants:

• Pre-registration is required, and the workshop is limited to the first 12 registrants. Register here. 
• Meeting at 17:00 in the Kisahalli main lobby. We recommend entering via the Mannerheimintie entrance (address: Mannerheimintie 17 E, accessible entrance).
• No prior knowledge or materials are required. Wear comfortable clothes suitable for movement/sports. Outdoor shoes are not allowed in the sports areas.
• The workshop does not include guided exercise; each participant engages in physical activity independently in their own way. The workshop is primarily intended for adults but is open to everyone.
• Participants will pay a 2 €/person entrance fee to Kisahalli (reduced fee).
• The primary language of the workshop is Finnish, but we can accommodate English-speaking participants as needed.
• Kisahalli's spaces are not fully accessible but allow for diverse forms of movement. We will adapt the workshop as much as possible to participants' needs. Detailed accessibility information and arrival instructions for Töölö Sports Hall through this link.
