ANTI – Contemporary Art Festival and Amnesty International Kuopion organise a communal dance event ”Take me as I am” at Kuopio Market Square on Monday 18th June starting at 12 pm. till 1 pm. The positive flash mob aims at provoking discussion on a serious matter; the rights of refugees and asylum seekers
both in Finland and globally.

We also aim at bringing together people coming from various backgrounds and creating dialogue
between them through arts.

Welcome to rehearse together!

Take me as I am dance will be rehearsed in open workshops, free to attend.
We are looking forward to a multicultural participant group!

The workshops will be arranged
on Tuesday 12th June and on Thursday 14th June at 4 pm. (till 6 pm.)
at Multicultural Centre Kompassi (Hapelähteenkatu 33, 70110 Kuopio, 2ndfloor) and
on Monday 18th June at 10 am. (till 11 am.) Hapelähteen puisto Park (Snellmaninkatu 41).
