DANGER DANGER is a guided and participatory museum tour by Wilhelm Blomberg and Milka Luhtaniemi that explores emotions emerging from the environmental crisis using activist tools. In the performance, challenging environmental emotions can be awakened, stirred and redirected. The reference point for the tour is the museum action of the British activist group Just Stop Oil, which startled the art world and opened up questions about the museum institution as a platform for direct action and public discussion. Humour, pedagogy and interventionist performance create a nuanced mix that asks how to confront the ecocrisis, act, rage and grieve.

The performance will take place at Turku Art Museum in conjunction with the museum’s Handle with Care exhibition. The language of the performance is English.

Performer, concept by Wilhelm Blomberg
Dramaturgical support: Milka Luhtaniemi

Wilhelm Blomberg is an environmental activist, performing artist and educator based in Helsinki. After being trained as a dancer, he has developed an interest for durational and improvisational scores as departures for making performances. He is always looking for ways to weave together his long time curiosities about interaction, humour and activism in different kinds of artistic endevours, to various degrees of success. Wilhelm spends his waking hours figuring out how to best empower people into taking action for the environment.
