Sustainable cities and communities
– Seeing the world with Rauli Virtanen

Kestävät kaupungit ja yhteisöt
– Rauli Virtasen matkassa maailmalla

This exhibition, centered around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (Agenda 2030), presents images by foreign correspondent Rauli Virtanen from countries where the future has become increasingly uncertain due to the pandemic and political changes.

Selected from Virtanen’s extensive archive, the photographs from Afghanistan, Nepal, Myanmar, Kenya, and Ethiopia take the viewer to Kibera’s slums, the streets of Kabul, and Myanmar’s Inle Lake, highlighting stories of resilience.

Designed with accessibility strongly in mind, the exhibition was part of a two-year global education project funded by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland.
