Flow of Equality invites visitors for an evening walk
A new addition to the Festival of Lights Opening Festival is the Flow of Equality art trail, which can be experienced over ten evenings from 23 October to 1 November, daily from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Stretching from Koskipuisto Park to Kehräsaari Island, the atmospheric illuminated route offers immersive light art and interactive experiences inspired by the anniversary of universal suffrage. This unique art trail features around ten works created by local artists, each exploring the theme of equality in a playful way.
Along the route, visitors can discover park pathways named after notable women from Tampere, learn the story behind a sculpture submerged in water, and find a message addressed to the men of a legendary Tampere rock band. At Vuolteentori Square, visitors can participate in the Voting for Light artwork, where voting influences how the area lights up and sounds. At the adjacent Equality Market, organisations promoting equality and inclusion will offer activities, opportunities to connect, and election-themed coffee gatherings.
The Flow of Equality art trail has been created by the same team behind Window Walkabout, a highly popular event held in autumn 2024. Inspired by the spirit of that event, installations displayed in the windows of Verkaranta and Kehräsaari feature artworks created using a variety of craft techniques.
More detailed information about the artworks and an event map will be published in the Tampere.Finland app closer to the event.
