The Other Side of the Mountain
Amos Rex, Helsinki
14 October 2026 – 21 March 2027
Bringing together 11 contemporary artists from across the African continent and the Afro-Nordic diaspora, The Other Side of the Mountain explores how cities, landscapes, and histories shape our relationships with one another and the places we inhabit. Through photography, sculpture, installation, and moving image, the exhibition considers questions of movement, identity, belonging, and alternative ways of imagining the future.
Featuring work by Karl Ohiri, the exhibition is part of Southnord Artfest 2026, co-curated by Marcia Harvey Isaksson and Katariina Timonen.
