Welcome to the first SOLU breakfast of autumn 2025!

Join us for a collective listening workshop with Mari Keski-Korsu. This eight edition of SOLU Dialogues takes place at HIAP's facilities in Suomenlinna.

Join us for a film screening consisting of the works of Bioart Society's members on the Night of the Arts.

The virtual exchange week will be held during 6–10 October 2025. You don't need any prior knowledge or training to join either as a moderator or a student.

Bioart Society will collaborate with HIAP, TUO TUO, Koynē Program, and SWAMP: Art Material Swap and Waste Management Point on a new residency programme in 2026.

During this spring, we are hosting a three-piece Reading Matters series with Helen Kaplinsky, and artist and writer Kirsty Hendry.

Laura Lowe spent a few weeks in May – June 2025, at the Ars Bioarctica residency conducting artistic research for her ongoing body of work "The Strcutural Colour Paintings". Lowe was gathering visual material of melting ice and embedded 'black carbon' pollution through the iridescent colours these materials reveal under polarised microscopy, as well as, by capturing the ice's surface with gelatin prints. She travelled across a thawing landscape of glaciers, tundra lakes, cascading waterfalls, and the Arctic Sea collecting her samples of ice.  

Bioart Society hosts the second of three labs within the deCYPher project in Ghent with the project partners at the Centre for Synthetic Biology (Ghent University), ML6 and Wageningen University & Research.

Coinciding with the opening week of the Helsinki Biennale and Frame Contemporary Art Finland’s Teurastamo art space tour, Bioart Society is hosting a moving image screening event at SOLU Space.

This seventh SOLU dialogues takes place at Kivinokka allotment garden. Artist, writer and seed librarian of Glasgow Seed Library, Rowan Lear, will discuss with artworker and researcher Joss Allen about what it means to live, work and think with seeds.

The Rewilding Cultures network partners issued 8 grants to support mobility, projects and experiments which conribute to the rethinking of mobility and cultural exchange in novel ways.

During his residency, Laine will experiment with using marine bacteria to carve and shape bioplastics, exploring how bacteria can be used for bio-etching to create organic patterns on the bioplastic surface. Laine is also keen to learn about the traditional methods of processing Japanese tengusa-seaweed (Gelidium amansii) and the production of kanten.
