Chance favors the prepared mind – Exploring angles and aspects of Turku (New Performance Turku Festival 2021)

Abstract

<p><strong>Chance</strong> observes the environment’s effect on survival. It searches options to the threat and emergency focused media through art, science and community. The three part work is a collaboration between artist Maire Karuvuori and futures researcher Marjukka Parkkinen who both have researched survivalism.</p><p>During the first part Karuvuori explores preparednes by camping in Turku and its surroundings. In the second part the experiences, field recordings and reflection deepen into a sound work, a dialogue between Karuvuori and Parkkinen. The recording will be added to our website during the festival.</p><p>The third part is an explorative walk at the center of Turku. We observe and discuss surviving as something personal and communal, but perhaps also societal or planetary phenomenon.</p>
