Media INVITATION: Join us in celebrating the relocation of Espoo’s Nelli to Kalajärvi on Thursday, May 25, at 6 pm

“It was a great pleasure for the Espoo Youth Council to be involved in choosing Nelli’s new location. We feel that public art greatly enhances the appeal of outdoor spaces, and we wanted to foster regional equality by selecting a location that didn’t host any previousart projects. Espoo’s Nelliis an emblem that unites all the residents of Espoo. Bringing her to the northernsuburbs unites the whole of Espoo,” describes the Espoo Youth Council.
At the event, the Espoo Youth Council will ‘pass the baton’ by announcing theorganization that will choose Nelli’s next destination.
Speakers at the event:
Henna Paunu, Chief Curator, EMMA
Aaron Komulainen, Chair of the Espoo Youth Council
Elina Leppänen, Secretary, Kalajärvi Society (Kalajärvi-seura)
Musical performance:
Sakari Leppänen
Espoo’s Nelli is a motherly, warm-hearted canine-human hybrid who holds a puppy under one arm. The sculpture is part of Kerttu Horila’s Animal Humans and Human Animals series, which features imaginative, storybook characters fusing together human and animal features.
EMMA’s public art programming brings a significant part of EMMA’s collection within reach of residents all around Espoo. Espoo’s Nelli is the museum’s gift to the City of Espoo and its residents on the occasion of the city’s 50th anniversary.
