Aku Meriläinen and Elina Vitkala
How can sensitive topics be addressed responsibly in education and the arts? What kinds of methods and practices exist to ensure safe and respectful encounters? And how can professionals protect themselves from the reactions of audiences or students?
The discussion features media artist and Aalto University doctoral researcher Aku Meriläinen as a guest. In late 2024, Meriläinen became the subject of a media controversy after addressing pornographic art in a lecture.
The event is introduced and moderated by Elina Vitkala (IhmeFilmi ry).
The event is free of charge and open to adults interested in the topic. Erotic video material will be shown during the event.
If necessary, the discussion can be conducted partly or entirely in English.
