Opening night also features a concert/video projection at 19:30. 
Water Rituals is an installation of Iiris-Lilja Kuosmanen's photographs and Anniina Lehtinen's soundscape. It is a meditative depiction of the power of water – the way in which it takes over areas and creates something new. We have examined water as a life-sustaining element and the rituals and traditions created around it. Photos were shot in places that people have changed in an environmentally unsustainable manner as well as in sacred places, where people have even worshipped water. The sound material has been recorded from the Mediterranean, the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Guinea.

The works show signs of environmental destruction, a contrast to the natural world in them. How these two extremes shape each other? We see underwater events that one can only examine as an outsider. Water moves as unknown elements and organisms.

The soundscape takes one to a water-filled, ethereal world that depicts water as a living being surrounding us from everywhere on planet Earth. It describes the poetic, sempiternal essence of water as well as its creative and destructive power. How water creates soundscapes and flowing, rhythmic, ever changing music with its movement and different phenomena.

Anniina Lehtinen is a Paris-based Finnish composer and musician, who writes and performs a wide range of music for piano and several other ensembles, adding sounds of nature, electroacoustic elements and her own voice to the music.
Iiris-Lilja Kuosmanen is a Helsinki-based visual artist working with expanded photography.
The artists have worked on the project as a team since 2018.
