Kehä Festival Oulu

Take a walk with us through the rooms and hallways of the Cultural centre Valve in Oulu where Kehä Festival was held 14.-18.10.2025.We talked with some artists who share their experiences and perspective on fellow artists' work. Besides the performances, we had the opportunity to attend the Symposium about One-to-One Art in care communities, where we explored the diverse ways in which one-to-one art has been done in care environments—and what more could be done. We'll talk about that more in the episodes to come, stay tuned!ILME has been organising Kehä Festival since 2015. In most years, the Kehä Festival has had a theme that challenges us to explore one-to-one art from a certain angle. In 2025, the theme was Travel. The cultural cooperative ILME has been organising Kehä Festival since 2015.This podcast is a part of One-to-One Art project, which has been awarded Creative Europe funding for the period 1 November 2023 – 30 September 2026.Project coordinator is ILME (Oulu, Finland) and partners in the project are the Gato Escaldado theatre group from Lisbon, Portugal, and the artist residency House of Klajn ran by House Collective from Klanjec, Croatia.
