Burnout Witches is the artist duo of Iida Nissinen and Melanie Orenius. Both also work as museum educators at Amos Rex. Burnout Witches explores transformations, magic and (contemporary) culture, both through the body means and through text and images.

On the guided tour, the duo invited participants to approach the exhibition’s Mythologies theme especially from a queer perspective. Who inhabit the subterranean world, who are doomed for some reason to be there – and who perhaps voluntarily stay?

The event is part of the official Helsinki Pride Week program.

During your visit to Amos Rex, only part of the museum is visible. Beneath the surface it is buzzing with life. Do you know which professions you can find at the museum? Who is needed at the museum for everything to work smoothly?

Set free your inner artist, curator and building team and draw your own exhibition in the Amos Rex exhibition hall.

The illustrator Ulla Donner visited Amos Rex’ secret hallways, studied its distinctive architecture and acquainted herself with specialists in various professions. In addition to the colouring poster of Amos Rex, the two comic albums Sontaa and Spleenish showcase Donner’s gorgeous and clever expression.
