Queer Guided Tour of the Oddkin Exhibition

On Friday, May 8, 2026, from 5:00 to 5:45 p.m., there will be a guided tour of Jessica Segall’s Oddkin exhibition, which will explore the exhibition’s queer themed elements in greater detail. The tour begins in the exhibition space Halli at 5:00 p.m. During the tour, a Kunsthalle guide will discuss the exhibition, its works, and the principles guiding the artist’s practice, with a focus on a queer themed perspective. The tour is part of Kalevan Navetta’s Afterwork Art program, and admission is free. No prior knowledge of the subject is required to participate; anyone with even a passing interest in the topic is welcome to join. The tour will be held in Finnish. Welcome!

Jessica Segall’s art

Jessica Segall’s thinking is guided by interdisciplinary queer ecology. Queer ecology is a theory and field of study that explores the diversity of gender and nature. The exhibition’s title, Oddkin, refers to a concept developed by the American theorist Donna Haraway. Haraway suggests that care and partnership do not require a genetic family connection. Unconventional, cross-species alliances can arise unexpectedly.

In collaboration with Lakeuden sateenkaari ry. Learn more about the organization on their website.
