Åland Islands: A Platform for Collaboration

without comments

 

“Island Connect” at the Åland Islands established a platform for cooperation among organizations, individuals, and institutions dedicated to the archipelago and its surrounding seas. A two-week residency from September 17 to October 3, 2025, was split between the capital of the archipelago, Mariehamn, and the Husö Biological Station, a research facility for marine biology projects studying the Baltic Sea, located 40 km inland.

 

 

Research on the micro-life in the waters surrounding Husö Biological Station was conducted with the guidance of Station Manager MSc Tony Cederberg.

The use of the station’s laboratory and microscopes enabled video and photo capture, as well as the creation of installation “Composition for Cyanobacteria” featured in an exhibition at Kulturvillan in Mariehamn.

Additionally, a video projection, supported by Östersjöfonden (The Baltic Sea Foundation), was showcased during the Baltic Sea Award ceremony, accompanied by music from Patrik Komorowski.

 

 

The exhibition at Kulturvillan was part of a broader program titled Currents of Kinship, organized by DACE – Dance Art Critical Ecology, led by Rickard Borgström and Rebecca Chentinell. The program included a panel discussion, a sensorial walk, and workshops.
