STITCHING TRACKS WANDERING
PERFORMANCES AND AN INSTALLATION IN
PARIKKALA AND JOENSUU
Stitching Tracks is a project by the Disconnected Spaces research group, that studies the decommissioned railway as a disconnected space. What happens to a train track after it is decommissioned?

The performances start at Parikkala train station.
During the performance, the audience members will walk a distance of about 10 kilometers. On this solitary journey, you are accompanied by letters and exercises that invite you to see time and space in different ways.
Admission is free, but you must register in advance by June 14. at info@toisissatiloissa.net.
The maximum number of participants is 7 people per performance.
The performances are held in Finnish.
The installation of the Disconnected Spaces research group will be presented at the M_itä? Biennale in the Joensuu Art Museum from 13 May to 17 September 2023 as a part of the Stitching Tracks project.
