On the last weekend of August students of Art School Maa and Pixelache organize I thought the earth remembered me, a contemporary art event series pondering questions around digital storage and memory. Art School Maa, Myymälä2-gallery and the caves of Suomenlinna are filled with video art, performances, installation and sound art. Maa’s neighbour HIAP will host an opening of a new art book library that provides a space to read and rest. The artworks explore themes of fatherhood, different forms of rebirth, the importance of community and the relationship between religion, body and gender.
