By ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki

The trip takes two and a half hours. Grey sky, grey sea, with some colors on the horizon. Aurelia performs the first part of her project “Reaching Suomi”. Just off the Finnish coast she lets around 100 pieces of silk, with a photo of central Finland that her father took during the war in April 1942 printed on them, be carried away by the wind. More actions will follow on the main land.

We arrive in Helsinki. It is very cold, our fingers are stiff and we can smell snow.

After a break we meet Raino and Camilla, two members of NUROPE – Nomadic University for Art, Philosophy and Enterprise.

Good Friday is a national holiday in Finland. Many people have already left for their summer cottages. Raine and Camilla invite us to a typical Finnish Easter dinner. Before that we visit the design centre, one of the few open institutions.
