I participated in Moving In residency under the direction of Ange Taggart (UK) at Esitystaiteen Keskus ry in Finland in 2014. The participants created a concept of an experiential walk, where the audience got to take a peek in Kalasatama in Helsinki. Who are the people of Kalasatama? Where do they come from? How did they end up here? Kalasatama Walk was part of the Eskus – Performance centers “Kalasataman Taidetalkoot” project.

"At ‘Base Camp Eskus’ we’ll create our own mini-community, whilst live, on our doorstep is the construction performance of the century, Kalasatama, an ongoing ‘production with a huge ‘cast’. With these performative transformations happening around us as a backdrop, we’ll attempt to navigate the tricky role the artist faces when working in a community setting linked to a regeneration remit. We’ll explore the ethics and pitfalls involved and then attempt to work together to make practical interventions in public space." - Ange Taggart
