Helsinki Decompression
Helsinki Decompression is a vibrant celebration of creativity and community, spanning two exhilarating days. As a regional Burning Man event in Finland, it invites participants to dive deep into the Burning Man culture and embody its principles. This unique event transforms the conventional boundaries between spectators and creators, inviting everyone to become an integral part of the artistic process. At Helsinki Decompression, there are no spectators; every attendee is a creator, collaboratively shaping spaces, experiences, and art installations.
The event is a carnival of co-creation, where the community comes together long before the event to brainstorm and collaborate, ensuring every moment is filled with surprise and collective creativity. From music to multidimensional artistic expressions, the event is tailored by and for the participants, embodying the joy of togetherness and the thrill of shared artistic adventure.
Since 2023 Helsinki Decompression has been arranged during the Easter time.
