We are doing research combining art and science on the photographer Julia Widgrén
(1842-1917) from Vaasa and will hold an open public event in the Venny room of Vaasa
Library on Wednesday 6 September 2023, 17:00-19:00. Photographer Hanna Koikkalainen,
journalist Anne Puumala and art historian Heta Kaisto will give a short presentation on
Julia’s life, work and significance. There will also be a free discussion and information
gathering about Julia’s life. Our team is collecting all kinds of material and information
related to Julia’s life. Even small pieces of information will help us to move forward. The
project will result in a book and an exhibition combining contemporary art and historical
research.
At the event, it will be possible to scan old photographs that the project is collecting for
background research.
We welcome you to view old photographs and tell stories about Julia, the history of
photography in Vaasa and to map the history of a successful photographer from Vaasa
together!
