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. As a member of the group, you will gain experience in producing own events and exhibitions and be given an opportunity to develop activities related to photography and photo culture together with like-minded people.
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 also has access to the museum’s darkroom, with an introduction provided for all members. The coordinator for the Photofuss group is one of the group's members, photographic artist Karun Verma.
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
Learning photography techniques
Group discussions about photography, being a photographer, and art
Anything else that excites and inspires the group!
The museum's safer space principles are followed in all museum activities.
