The Third installment of CatCa took place on the 15.05.2014.

This time we gathered not just to meet and share among ourselves but also to find out more about what happens in City Hall.

We meet with the director of Virka Gallery and spoke about the gallery space asking how transcultural artists have been involved in the exhibitions. Up until now it seemed that there was not many exhibitions by or representing transcultural artists who live permanently in Finland. But there was talk of future collaboration and in the gallery being more open towards transcultural artists.

We also meet someone from Virka info who introduced us to their work. They are doing really amazing things in the way of not only tourist information but in helping Helsinki residents in a number of languages dealing with a variety of issues. They should definitely be your first stop to ask about issues you may be facing. 

After this we headed to Hymy – Raw food cafe where we held Catalysti’s AGM with delicious cake. See more information about that here.
