Other Pasts – turn on the archive
Exhibition 12.2019
Aalto University
Vare, Kipsari lobby
Other Pasts has been turning on the archive,
finding clues and hints,
surfacing the past and
making it anew,
sensing their ways across many o’formats
of uncoated paper sheets,
resting their eyes on vivid inks,
coming across the wonders of Kontula
(found by those who know how to look),
taken by the telling drawings
found in the smuggled letters of red prisoners,
and feelings embedded in pioneer kids’ fanzines.
