Writing and Illustrating School Memories | Pori Art School

Pori Art Museum's Summer Exhibitions Event Day:

All of us have school memories, both positive and negative. In the Pori Art Museum's summer exhibition, we dive into exciting, embarrassing, and puzzling features of school world through Mike Kelley’s "Day Is Done" video piece. As Kelley’s video work draws inspiration from American high school culture and yearbooks, you will be having the chance to recreate your own version of the school world and revisit your memories through a letter that you can write and decorate. Who will you address it to? Your teacher, or perhaps your former self?

Do failed school photos haunt you, or do you want to relive those peaks? On the event day, you will have the chance to recreate a dream school photo that suits your needs and is limited only by your imagination.

Welcome to Pori Art School to remember and process your school years through the means of art.

Note: Children under school age must be accompanied by an adult. The event is suitable for both young ones and adults alike.
