Did you think that fashion design is all about the changing lengths of pant legs and choosing between squares and stripes? That new media is nothing but flashing lights and blurry video screens? That only those born with golden spoons in their mouths can become millionaires? That all that the Brazilians can do is to mix caipirinhas and dance samba in sunset? If this is the case, it is definitively time for you to catch the pink tram and come to Arabianranta, Helsinki! Starting May 11th, the Masters of Arts 2005 seminars shake the dust from old plaster busts. On top of fresh viewpoints to design, media, cinema and art, the seminars provide interesting comments on the vitality of the cities, creative economies and – we can promise you this – the future competitiveness of Finland. Meet the whipping cream of today´s visual culture, experts from architecture to new media, from Southern hemisphere to arctic circle. The seminars are divided into three parts. The first group, Creative spaces, deals with the space and stage of the modern City. The second group, Creative Identities takes a look at the changing professional identities of designers, fashion designers and movie makers and asks what the future maker-identities are like and what challenges does the modern age impose on the new graduates. The third section, Creative Business, talks about business on its own terms. "There is an immense flow of energy in the University of Art and Design Helsinki: knowledge, skills and creativity. The three-week festival has been organized to bring in these resources. The seminar themes deal with the development of the creative society. The topics touch – either directly or indirectly – the themes presented in the Masters exhibition. Many of the ideas have been initiated by the corridor discussions at the University, between different people, departments and working groups. The topics have also been reflected on other international seminars and they have gained strength in meetings with professionals of creative industries, architects, entrepreneurs and trend-setters” says Tuuli Sotamaa, the Festival Producer.
