The contemporary-art-commissioning agency IHME Helsinki is continuing its collaboration with Helsinki Open Waves on new episodes of the Art, Science, Ecology podcast series. The members of the IHME Helsinki Advisory Board are hosting the second season of the podcast, carrying on discussions started in 2021. The new episodes update ideas about ecocide, sustainable energy, and energy identity, and about the role of the arts in all this, topics that are even more urgent today than in 2021.

IHME Helsinki unites the worlds of art, science, and climate work. We promote the cultural change needed in theenvironmental crisis and motivate citizens to adapt to a life within planetary boundaries. Each year we produce a public artwork and a series of events with international artists and local partners to bring hope amid the environmentalcrises.
