Ilia Ollikainen: Why medieval/fantasy?
A lecture performance on modern medieval desires is part of the Kuvan Kevät 2025 exhibition.
Why Medieval/Fantasy? is a lecture performance that narrates through the complicated process of trying to understand modern medieval desires, queer medieval history and the process of historical obfuscation that has led to the current rise of neo-medieval rhetoric and aesthetics. It’s about grappling to secure oneself a place in the past, about holding together an empty suit of armor. About pure mettle.
The language of the performance is English. Sign-up is required due to limited capacity. Read more details and instructions on how sign up for the event.
