Aboagora - Between Arts and Sciences
Iceland is often called the land of fire and ice. On March 19, 2021, the volcano Fagradalsfjall erupted in the Southwest of Iceland close to the capital. The eruption was preceded by a series of earthquakes and the population was already waiting for weeks. When the sky turned red that night, people in Reykjavík knew: now it happened. Artist and researcher Alessa Brossmer will explore this special kind of fire from a geological, cultural and creative perspective in her lecture ‪on Friday 20th August‬.Join this and other sessions at the Sibelius Museum or online. Take a look at Aboagora's programme and don't forget to register by ‪August 11th: www.aboagora.fi/programme#aboagora2021 #betweenartsandsciences #fiverings #fire #rohkeatekijä #interdisciplinary #turku #åbo#uniturku #aboakademi #taideakatemia #stiftelsenabo #KoneenSaatio #kulturfonden #donnerinstitute ...

Aboagora - Between Arts and Sciences
Turun kaupungilta käytiin alkukesästä haastattelemassa koordinaattori Malla Lehtosta ja Aboagoraa perustamassa ollutta Ruth Illmania. Tekstiin on mainiosti saatu kiteytettyä se, miksi teemme Aboagoraa nyt jo yhdettätoista kertaa.

Aboagora - Between Arts and Sciences
‪On Thursday, August 19th, the morning starts with an interesting session, when engineer Johan Werkelin meets with potters Cornelius Colliander and Kristina Mediucha to discuss their views on fire.‬ 🔥‪The potters make use of the heat of the fire to transform the clay into ceramics, and they use the flames of the fire to improve the appearance of their products. The engineer uses the energy released by the fire to heat our buildings or to make objects move and supplies our society with electricity.‬‪In this session they will ask and answer questions like, for example, what do they have in common and what differs in their approach and understanding of this phenomenon? Do they know about the flip sides of fire and its connection to climate change? And how do they justify their use of fire in this aspect?‬You can take part in this session via livestream, or join us at the Sibelius Museum. Don’t forget to register no later than August 11th! www.aboagora.fi/programme#aboagora2021 #betweenartsandsciences #fiverings #fire #rohkeatekijä #interdisciplinary #turku #åbo#uniturku #aboakademi #taideakatemia #stiftelsenabo #koneensaatio #kulturfonden #donnerinstitute ...

Both love and hate are fiery, powerful emotions. B Both love and hate are fiery, powerful emotions. But while the latter is destructive, the former can cross boundaries and build bridges. 🔥🧡 ‪On Friday 20th August we will take a tour of Rewan Kakil’s and Saara Aina’s photo exhibition “Love Crossing Boundaries” on Luostarin välikatu (outdoors). Through art they have wanted to thematise different patterns of oppression and stigmatisation that are exercised within and over ethnic boundaries. ‬ ‪In this exhibition they have followed the journey of seven different couples as their stories unfold to reveal the challenges they’ve met as well as the support they’ve received from both their own community and that of their partner of choice. ‬ The session continues with a panel discussion titled “The Fire of Love and Hate”, which goes deeper into the topic of oppressive structures, masculinity and nationalism. Nana Blomqvist discusses with Hannaneh Mahmoudian and Tuija Saresma about our contemporary society and its radicalised and normalised expressions of patriarchal structures. This session is organised in collaboration with @hubturku You can take part in this session via livestream, or join us at the Sibelius Museum.

The catastrophe known as the Great Fire of Turku w The catastrophe known as the Great Fire of Turku was the largest conflagration in the history of the Nordic countries. Three quarters of the city were destroyed in the devastating fire that started on 4 September 1827, at 9 o’clock in the evening. The fire raged through the night, in some parts of the city ‪until 6 September‬. The soil was hot for weeks and the minds of the citizens were disturbed by the tragedy. ‪On Friday 20th August‬ Professor Hannu Salmi (UTU) and Professor and architect Panu Savolainen (Aalto University) will discuss the emotional responses to the fire, its cultural ramifications as well as the volume and consequences of the catastrophe.

Maa, vesi, tuli, tuuli ja tyhjyys muodostavat Aboa Maa, vesi, tuli, tuuli ja tyhjyys muodostavat Aboagoran nykyisen teemakokonaisuuden (2019–2023), mutta samoja sanoja on käytetty jo kauan sitten. Aboagoran harjoittelija Johanna Juupaluoma kirjoittaa nettisivuillamme näistä viidestä elementistä sekä siitä, mitä ne merkitsivät 1600-luvun samuraille Miyamoto Musashille ja mitä niihin puolestaan sisältyy 2020-luvun Turussa.  Koko jutun Aboagoran teemoista ja taustoista pääset lukemaan bion linkin kautta.   🌱💧🔥💨⚫️   Aboagora´s thematic plan "The Five Rings" (2019–2023) is at its halfway point. This year's theme is Fire, and the others are Earth (2019), Water (2020), Wind (2022) and Void (2023). The idea of these five elements is ancient and universal. The title also refers to the book The Book of Five Rings (1645) written by the Japanese samurai Myamoto Musashi.
