Camille Auer’s Queer Bird Walk takes on a new form at the Kirpilä Art Collection. Auer, a writer and artist, has been conducting norm-critical bird research for several years. During her tour, participants will explore the bird-themed artworks in Kirpilä’s collection and learn how norms related to gender and sexuality influence our perception of birds and the surrounding world. The Queer Bird Walk provides concrete examples of the diversity of gender and sexuality among birds and challenges participants to consider things from a bird’s perspective.
Admission to the tour is free, but spaces are limited. Please register at https://taidekotikirpila.fi/verkkokauppa/
