26.6.2023 17\u201322 @ Kulttuurisauna (Helsinki, FI)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 26.6.23 17-22 Kulttuurisauna is reserved for gender minorities, meaning everyone who is trans, non-binary, intersex, or gender non-conforming. This event is free, with an option to donate to performing artists with cash\/mobile pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sweat And Tears<\/em> is a series of sauna gatherings, organised by and for trans people. These events offer safe embodiment, care and communality, music, performances, bathing, swimming and releasing tensions into the sea. The project was initiated by curator Orlan Ohtonen, artist Ignata Elana and Kulttuurisauna in 2022, aiming to develop Kulttuurisauna\u2019s facilities and organising towards safer access for trans people, who are often excluded from shared, collective and public sauna spaces. In 2023 the organising group is joined by Kaura Raudaskoski and Maru Paavola.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event is supported by the trans activist association Trans ry<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Info about space, safety, and accessibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kulttuurisauna aims to start a regularly running sauna shift for gender minorities. There will be someone at the door to greet you, and space and time to give us feedback and share your ideas on how the sauna should be run in order to feel safe and welcoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will not ask about your gender in any way; we only hope that you give space to those who cannot usually use public saunas without experiencing dysphoria, anxiety, or distressing incidents resulting from transphobia. If you have any questions or concerns about joining, please don\u2019t hesitate to contact us<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wood burning sauna is open during the event with two non-gendered changing rooms and shower rooms. Robes, towels and swimwear can be used in the sauna but are not mandatory. There is also a spacious bathroom where one can get changed privately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safer space rules apply and are actively cared for by the organisers during the event.
No racism, cis-sexism, transmisogyny, transphobia, ableism, fatphobia, body commentary.
No photos inside except of the performances; please ask for consent for photographing or touching others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please show up only when you are healthy and have no flu symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accessibility info:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Update: The route to Kulttuurisauna is a bit tricky because of the construction site. There is gravel for at least 70 meters before the building. You can access the building from Merihaka by walking or bike (see the photos below for reference). There is no parking at the sauna but for a drop off and pick up, you can drive on to the construction site. Nearest parking is at Merihaka P.<\/p>\n\n\n
