⋅ Briefly in English » Degrowth Finland

The interdisciplinary conference is targeted at academics, activists and experts working in the fields of economy, politics, social welfare and environment but it is aimed also at the broader public and the media. The programme of the conference is designed to enable discussion between keynote speakers, politicians, activists and experts and it aims to make the concept of degrowth more widely known in Finland. The conference is free of charge and we expect audience of around 500 people. Conference languages are English, Finnish and French and a translation from French to English will be organised.

⋅ Mission

The Culture Laboratory Collective comprises a diverse group of artists working loosely around the question of socialcohesion within the context of aesthetic fragmentation. While focusing collectively on a synthetically established social identity the work presented paradoxically strives to break free of group-think aesthetics in favor of the individual voice, the point of dissonance opposing the attempt at collaborative cohesion. Retaining a focus on craft and the object, Culture Laboratory Collective operates as an ongoing investigation in media interchangeability and aesthetic fluidity.
