Tapiola Library (Lobby area)

Artists Homa Shokri and Dash Che from & Espoo theatre will be present in the library lobby as part of community art project &Naapurusto.

During this time, they will introduce the projects Neither Here Nor There and My Story (also) Lives Here, which explore how bodies experience place, belonging, and daily movement in the city. Homa and Dash will share small performative gestures, offer short exercises for visitors, and present upcoming workshops open to Espoo residents with multicultural and immigrant background.

Visitors can stop by at any moment, ask questions, sign up, or simply observe.

Drop-in, open to everyone.

No registration required.
