Breaking the Fifth wall focuses on inclusiveness before specialisation, difference before identity and play before culture. The festival is about creating and simultaneously exploring alternative pathways, tangible interactions apart from the anaesthetised interfaces which slowly envelope our social interactions.
The Pixelache Helsinki 2019 festival will be held throughout the city, with a programme of events and installations within its borders however our intent is to draw audience members away from the usual central city cultural spaces, with workshops held in the culturally diverse neighbourhoods of Kontula in East Helsinki (Museum of Impossible Forms), former industrial spaces repurposed as cultural zones (Oranssi, Kalasatama), independent art spaces (Maa-Tila, Sörnäinen and SOLU an artistic laboratory and platform for art, science and society) as well as outside of the city itself with a fully developed collaboration with our partners Seinäjoki’s Taidehalli.
