Artefact film premiering in Australia

In 2016, the Australian artists Willoh S. Weiland and JR Brennan created the unforgettable production Artefact, performed with hundreds of local participants in Kuopio. The work has now been edited into a remarkable film!

The project is supported by the Saastamoinen Foundation and the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts and the HIAP residency program, Helsinki.
