Welcome to AeRaTe exhibition and symposium!
AeRaTe explores the role and celebrates the history, presence, and future of artistic research at Aalto University in all its diverse processes and materialities.
AeRaTe draws inspiration from the concept of aeration—breathing, activating, ventilating, protecting, and nurturing. This transformative process, which is in constant motion, creates fertile ground for artistic practices, growth in artistic research, and the pollination of new ideas.
In artistic research, practice is a key research component, and as such AeRaTe seeks to uplift artistic practices which have a transformational role and engage with complex world entanglements. AeRaTe continues Aalto University’s decades-long contribution to artistic research within Finland and internationally.
Presentations, workshops and artwork by artistic researchers at Aalto ARTS.
Symposium keynote lecture by Uniarts professor of artistic research Mika Elo.
