Tampere Kuplii 2016 part 1

Long time no see.
It looks like my blog, like a "snowdrop",  revives each spring.

This time I would like to start with a photo-report from this years Tampere Kuplii comics festival. It is worth to mention that this festival celebrated its 10th anniversary this year.

Vintage, Home Decor and Lifestyle at Museum Center Vapriikki

mood: Devendra Banhart - Brindo

This Sunday was full of  fascinating events, such as Home Decor and Lifestyle Event at Museum Center Vapriikki, Designtori at Pakkahuone&Klubi and a laaaaarge "second hand" sale happening named "Peräkonttikirppis" in city center. 

Unfortunately I missed Peräkonttikirppis, but have some pictures to share from other events. Aaaaand as I got a bit too excited while photographing, I find it rather reasonable to divide this post on to two parts.

Let's start with Home Decor and Lifestyle Event.

Comics and Cosplay... Tampere Kuplii 2014

I like happenings, and comics and people dressed in amazing, unexpected way. 

So this time my photo-report is about Tampere Kuplii (bubbles) comics festival.  This five day event consisted of seminars, panel discussions, work shops, sale-events and exhibitions, with culminating point being a Sarjakuva-Finlandia-prize (a prize to a finnish artist, for a successful comic album) ceremony and a cosplay costume competition. 

Expectedly, i was drawn by a visual side of the event,  so my pictures here are mostly cosplay themed.

Give me some music... Valtteri music festival

Scandinavian Music Group - Balladi 1

This summer (2013) was full of music
  You could hear it from open windows, restaurant terraces and  numerous "open stages"
Also this summer was full of concerts and festivals

This post is about Valtteri music festival

Valtteri festival is a 3 days event based in the city center of Tampere during Midsummer (Juhannus) celebration. The festival got his name after a ghost of the 13 year old Red Soldier "Valtteri" who was killed during the civil war. Legend says that he still hunts the cultural center "Tullikamari". 

Festival program consisted of two parts: free of charge day events for all ages and evening program in Pakkahuone and Klubi venues. Among the performers were Scandinavian Music Group, Eva & Manu, The Bad Ass Brass Band, Yona & Orkesteri Liikkuvat Pilvet, Ville Leinonen, Jaakko Laitinen & Väärä Raha, Ochre Room, Riitaoja, Tanssiorkesteri Ajomiehet, TBA, bands Red Snapper and The Skins from UK and Iva Nova from Russia.
