Truth be told, the only thing Deacon knew about Helsinki prior to this exhibit was that OPI had a FABULOUSLY garish color we loved for our toes called "Getting Kinky in Helsinki." But when our good friend Judith passed along an invite to check out the new exhibit at the Embassy, we were admittedly intrigued.
Presenting a 21st century take on the "sister city" concept, the exhibit looks at Finland's capital through the eyes of a dozen notable Washingtonians, who traveled to the city earlier in the year. Their experiences are captured in "My Helsinki," a program and exhibit running at the embassy through the end of the month.
Participants include jazz musician and music advocate Davey Yarborough, Dr. Marta Palacios, principal of Bruce-Monroe Elementary and bi-lingual education pioneer, chef and organic food advocate Nora Pouillion, and architect and philosopher Travis Price.
Read the participants blogs, see their photos, and hear their stories firsthand. It’s an exhibit you won’t want to miss – even if there’s no nail polish involved.
