Performance Art – Sida vid sida

The Sida vid sida med havet festival (2022–2025) has produced a multidisciplinary series of performances, each work tailored to churches in the Turku and Åland archipelago.

Performances have taken place on the islands of Jurmo, Aspö, Utö, Nötö, Houtskari, Iniö, Nauvo, Parainen, and Kökar. The works have also been presented at the Helsinki Festival in the churches of Suomenlinna and Lauttasaari, as well as in the medieval church of Pyhtää.

The festival has been supported in different years by the Kordelin Foundation, Svenska Kulturfonden, Taike/HAMA funding, and the Finnish Cultural Foundation.
