Jury
Generation 2026 Jury
The Generation 2026 jury is chaired by Canadian artist, game designer, and educator Harold Hejazi. Working extensively in participatory performing arts, game design, and community engagement, Hejazi, who is based in Helsinki, has in recent years explored the use of video games in theatre, addressing themes such as race, marginalisation, and contemporary multiculturalism.
Representing Amos Rex on the jury are museum director Kieran Long, assistant curator Krista Mamia, curator of public programmes Laura Porola, and curator Terhi Tuomi. The Generation 2023 artists are represented by Yoonsik Kim and Aino Kontinen. Aino Kontinen works with writing, performing arts, and lens-based art, while Yoonsik Kim operates at the intersection of fashion and art.
