Saastamoinen Foundation Keynote Lecture Series is a vital element in the Academy of Fine Arts’ internationalisation programme. The series focuses on topics such as the role of art education in the pursuit of democracy and global fairness.  Each year, the lecture series invites an internationally renowned curator, artist or researcher to Helsinki to open a discussion about topical themes relating to the world of contemporary art. The lectures focus on developing the knowledge required by artists to set off on diverse career paths internationally and reflect on the different creative reactions of artists to the challenges of globalisation.
