You are witnessing a quintessential Finnish univer You are witnessing a quintessential Finnish university tradition: student orientation and “appro” events.
Early September marks the start of the academic year at Tampere University and TAMK (Tampere University of Applied Sciences). You are seeing thousands of new and returning students participating in orientation week activities and citywide orientation rallies (fuksi suunnistus).
What to Know About the Tradition
 * The Colorful Overalls (Haalarit): The boiler suits or overalls are the official uniform of Finnish university students. The color indicates their field of study—for example, red for medicine, dark blue for computer science, yellow for psychology, or white for business.
 * The Fabric Patches: Students customize their overalls over their entire academic career by sewing on embroidered patches collected from events, student guilds, and parties.
 * The “Treasure Hunt”: The small groups you see navigating the city with maps or phones are participating in an orientation checkpoint rally. Groups complete funny challenges, trivia, or team-building games at stations hosted by older students across parks and public squares to earn points and collectible patches.
Walking through @backlight_fi in Tampere, Finland Walking through @backlight_fi in Tampere, Finland 🇫🇮 — one of the Nordic region’s longest-running photography festivals (since 1987). A little tour, artist by artist.

Grateful to have connected with @tasumaniemi (Executive Director, Nykyaika/Backlight), Liisa Mäkinen (festival producer), and artist-curator Anna Ruth of @akkigalleria — whose “Art without Transportation” project is producing one of the installations

Shifting Worlds: A Photography Exchange

January 9 – March 28, 2027
Bedford Gallery, Walnut Creek @bedfordgallery 

移りゆく世界

Shifting Worlds brings together artists from the Bay Area Photographers Collective @bapcsf and Samurai Foto @samurai.foto from Japan in a dialogue about movement and impermanence. Across geographies, these photographers attend to a world in constant transition, where light shifts, environments evolve, and change is the only constant. Curated by @artalatrinca
Two wonderful solo shows @500cappstreet by @andy_ Two wonderful solo shows @500cappstreet  by @andy_vogt_studio who saved a discarded door from the house and brought it to life on the deck. And @amyclairet who brings beauty from distressed and discarded objects in a poetic way. Best show of the year.
Great show ending today - congratulations @ishancl Great show ending today - congratulations @ishanclemenco for finding the pieces and putting them together
