COMING UP
Karhun Uni / The Dreaming Bear – Aino Venna, EMMA (March 2026)
Karhun Uni (The Dreaming Bear) is a video installation by Aino Venna, presented at EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art.
The Dreaming Bear is inspired by the bear’s winter hibernation and its symbolism as an ancestor and a metaphor for renewal. The work invites visitors to pause, follow the rhythm of breath and rest, and encounter the presence of the bear as an ancestral figure. The installation explores the ancient Finnish bear origin myth alongside the relationship between the nervous system and lived experience.
The work incorporates footage from Korkeasaari’s winter den camera from the winter of 2024.
