Museum of Impossible Forms wins State Art Prize 2020
ViCCA congratulates its students and alumni who have been active (and often founding) members of the Museum of Impossible Forms (est. 2017) – an anti-racist and queer-feminist cultural center in the suburb of Kontula – for the 2020 State Art Prize that they received from the Arts Promotion Centre Finland. Situated at the (historically in)famous mall of Kontula the “museum” has established itself as a place for both art and theory to happen. As itself expresses, it has been “a contested space representing a contact zone, a space of unlearning, formulating identity constructs, norm-critical consciousness and critical thinking, already containing within it the potential for the para museum, the counter museum, the anti museum.” m{if} has its own multilingual library, an archive, and it hosts countless visitors annually.
