The Youth Group Photofuss, under the auspices of the Finnish Museum of Photography, is intended for young people aged from 18 to 30 years interested in art and culture.
Photofuss group is looking for four new members for the 2026–2027 season!
Are you interested in photography, visual culture, and working together with others? Are you between 18 and 30 years old? Photofuss is looking for four new members for the upcoming season, which will start in September 2026 and end in June 2027. Your background does not matter, as long as you are ready to commit to meetings held every other Friday from 5–7 pm in Helsinki at the Finnish Museum of Photography. The season starts 18.9.2026.
Photofuss is the youth group of the Finnish Museum of Photography, offering the opportunity to experience photographic culture and practice through collective work. The group meets every other week, and participation is completely free of charge. Photofuss is intended for 18–30-year-olds interested in art and culture, and the content of the season varies each year according to the members’ own interests. The group members have the possibility to access the museum’s darkroom, with an introduction provided for all members.
Photofuss’s activities reflect the interests of its members and provide the opportunity to plan and organize events with like-minded people. In recent years, a central activity has been planning and producing the group’s own exhibition. Other possible forms of activity include, for example:
Meeting artists and other photography professionals
Visiting interesting art exhibitions
Making photography zines
Learning photography techniques
Group discussions about photography, being a photographer, and art
Anything else that excites and inspires the group!
The selection of new members will be made by Photofuss coordinator Karun Verma, Museum educator Valtteri Heinonen and Museum director Erja Salo. Applying to Photofuss does not require extensive experience with photography, interest alone is enough.
NOTE: Photofuss is meant primarily for those, who don’t study photography or work professionally with photographs.
The group’s working languages are Finnish and English.
