Dear art lovers,
KAJO team is delighted to invite you to the opening of the international exhibition:
KAJO 1 — Light & Connection / 13th Nov – 11th Dec 2025
Opening on November 13th in Helsinki.
For this first edition in Finland, the birthplace of the project, we have chosen to present a selection of unique artworks by six artists from very different backgrounds, two of whom have come specially from France.
Using techniques as diverse as photography, sculpture, painting, embroidery, and light art, they attempt to give form to the invisible bridges born of interactions that characterize the human experience.
The showcased artworks reveal a unique and universal path of connection which also illuminates us. Like the fleeting trace of energy, left in by the gaze we cast from ourselves to ourselves, from ourselves to others, our environment, and to the entire universe.
The six artists showcased in KAJO 1:
Frans Kangasniemi (FI/SÁMI)
Ishmail Sandstroem
Sido (FR)
Valmigot (FR)
For us, KAJO is a bridge between art and the world, and we want to create experiences, dialogues and networks that forge lasting connections among those who love and support art, and those who create it. By doing so, we strive to build an inclusive art landscape.
We look forward to welcoming you to the opening of KAJO 1, Light & Connection, on November 13, 2025, starting at 6 p.m., in the presence of the artists.
Best regards,
KAJO team
