“Det gemensamma i de presenterade arbetena ligger mindre i en viss fotografisk stil, även om alla fotografier är svartvita, än i frågan om synlighet, yttre och inre: hur individer presenterar sig själva, ser sig själva och tar plats i ett filosofiskt och estetiskt rum.

_Visible Belonging_ fortsätter NextGenAFK:s arbete med att sudda ut generationsgränser mellan yngre och äldre fotografer genom försök att skapa och visa dialogiska arbeten på nya villkor.”

Utställningen hänger hela oktober i Östra Centrums bibliotek.

First Project in Helsinki!!

Featuring @siriuslyserious_ and @zrua_ , do come down for a really fun evening of weird and yummy sounds in real time, and some really cool films!

Many thanks to @vapaantaiteentila for the venue support and such a cool space!

Do come if you're down for some edgy non-commercial music-making! Even if you aren't, just come anyways - you never know what surprises may await!! :)

[Event Synopsis]
Hello! :)

We are a trio of students from UniArts Helsinki (Sibelius Academy; Academy of Fine Arts), interested in interdisciplinary collaborations!

One of our shared aesthetic interests is the idea of creative spontaneity:

Instead of reading and replicating a score like a composed piece, we "compose" the music on the spot!

Improvisation (contrary to certain stereotypes), isn't just about whacking random shit and expecting it to work.

Rather, it celebrates what is fundamental to being human - being present in the moment, embracing risk, and finding common ground between people who may come from radically different backgrounds (or not, and daring to propose and challenge new ideas!)

[title TBC], is a title that emphasises the open-ended nature of this concert, challenging the traditional presumptions of what a concert programme is. Join us for an EXCITING evening of unexpected twists and turns! Embrace the broad eclecticism of many different musical styles, as we form artistic relationships with visual elements in real time, while figuring out what all of this means to us!

Hope to see you there!

We are happy to share that Ad Astra took part in Developing in the Age of No Signal, an exhibition presented by AFK in Helsinki, in collaboration with Ad Astra.

The exhibition explores how the digital can take shape through material forms beyond photography, and how digitality can be experienced through its absence.

Set within an imagined apocalyptic landscape, Developing in the Age of No Signal invites visitors to explore what digital culture might leave behind — its traces, memories, objects and material transformations.

As part of the exhibition, Kateryna Harahulia, visual artist and member of the Ad Astra team, presented her work alongside a group of international artists.

The exhibition brought together different perspectives on the relationship between technology, materiality, memory and the future of digital culture.

Thank you to AFK, curator Olívia Ondreičková, producer Serafima Parland, all participating artists and performers, and everyone who contributed to the project.

We are excited to announce our next group exhibition: Developing in the Age of No Signal.

We invite you to explore how the digital can be translated into material form beyond photography. The exhibition is conceived as an apocalyptic site: a space of discovery where visitors encounter and learn what digitality once was. This exhibition focuses on how the digital can be communicated through its absence into the material.
