#StopHatredNow 2026
#StopHatredNow is an intercultural and anti-racist week-long platform organised once a year in collaboration with several art and intercultural organisations.
Time: 11-15 May
Place: Helsinki and online
The platform strives to create discourse and offers tools to create a more inclusive, diverse and feminist art field; inclusivity, diversity, non-discrimination, accessibility and social as well as ecological sustainability are issues that determine the future of every art and cultural institution.
#StopHatredNow is aimed at individual artists, cultural influencers, and institutions of art and culture, but anyone interested in the topics is welcome.
The events are held in English or Finnish. The language of each event is written in the program. All events are free of charge.

The entire event week program is free of charge and can be enjoyed from anywhere in the world, as the majority of the program will be streamed live. #StopHatredNow 2026 kicks off on Monday, 11 May 2026, with the Institutional Day held in Hakaniemi, Helsinki. The program is tailored specifically for those working in and with art and cultural institutions, but anyone interested is welcome to register.
