ART CENTER AHJO, SYSI-HALL; SHAME FOR SALE

JENNA KÄHÖNEN, SAARA-MARIA SIPPONEN, ALEX KEYRILÄINEN, MISKA MIO, IIDA K. KILPELÄINEN, JONE MUTKA, SINI KÄHÖNEN AND ESSI PITKÄNEN - SHAME FOR SALE 9.7.-27.7.2025

The feeling of shame rises as a flush in the cheeks, tightens into a weight on the chest, and causes uncomfortable squirming. It can settle in and start to erode the foundation of the self—or define the experiences of an entire group of people. Should we learn to live with shame, or is it something we can leave behind?

Shame for Sale is an exhibition that seeks out the root causes of shame and explores its various manifestations.

Eight artists approach the theme from their own perspectives, using a range of materials. The works delve into shame as a bodily experience, traverse the areas of life it touches, and search for possible routes to liberation.

The exhibition features a diverse selection of paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, and installations.
