Exhibition: UOMA
Gallery MABD 5–29 August 2026 Opening: Tuesday 4 August, 6–8 pm Free admission.
The Finnish Cultural Institute in Madrid's three-year UOMA residency and exhibition project culminates in a group exhibition at Gallery MABD, bringing together artists from the Oulu2026 region and the Community of Madrid. The exhibition explores themes of time, memory, ecology and landscape, while reflecting on connections between Europe's geographical peripheries.
As part of the exhibition, Oulu Music Video Festival presents Ante Hadean, a new audiovisual work by Liina Holmes and Miguel Álvarez-Fernández. Created during the 2026 UOMA residency, the work explores geological time through moving image and sound.
