Nastja Säde Rönkkö: Survival Guide for a Post-Apocalyptic Child

Located in the grand arched hall at HAM, the videos share stories about the last moments of the current humanity, nature, longing, and loss. At the same time, the videos also look into love, humaneness, the future, and care.

Viewers are invited to immerse themselves in the themes by projecting them on their own emotions or contemporary global crises. How can we prepare for the unknown? What things would be worth preserving in such a situation? What knowledge and memories would we want to pass on to future generations? What would society be like after such an irreversible turning point?

A guidebook carrying the name of the exhibition will be published in connection with the exhibition, in collaboration with the artist and the Lönnström Art Museum. In addition, the exhibition at HAM will include a new thematic series of sculptures as well as a customised soundscape that ties the exhibition together. The installation was originally produced by the Lönnström Art Museum as part of the Lönnström Project initiative in autumn 2022.
