The Artists’ Association Yö ry invites its member artists to participate in a curated multidisciplinary exhibition and related events on the theme Forest. The exhibition and events will take place between 23 October – 2 November 2025 as part of the annual Yö Kekri, hosted at Yö Gallery.
The forest is a source of human imagination, spirituality, and life. At the same time, it is a stage for human experiences, the non-human world, and the post-humanist era. The forest can be seen as a space where the human-centered gaze fades, and the question of the forest’s role in a changing world emerges in a new way. It is a landscape, a refuge, a resource, and the unknown.
We are looking for works and performances that approach the forest from different perspectives. The form and duration of the works and performances are open. They may include, for example: visual art, installations, performances, sound works, poetry, music, workshops, or multidisciplinary combinations.
Artists will supervise the exhibition.

All members of Yö ry who have paid the 2025 membership fee are eligible to apply for Yö Kekri. You may propose 1–5 works for the exhibition.
