Archipelagogo

Discover the magical world of Archipelagogo!

Archipelagogo is a free exhibition throughout Storyhouse featuring paintings, drawings, etchings and gigantic felt sculptures inspired by the life, work and creativity of Tove Jansson.

Rather than take inspiration purely from Jansson’s most famous creations, The Moomins, the exhibition is instead inspired by the things that inspired Jansson herself – art, love, family, travel and the geography of her native Finland.  

The Archipelagogo is a group of islands and its inhabitants. Living separately but relying on each other for everything they need. Celebrating Tove Jansson’s values of tolerance, democracy and  equality. 

By Felt Mistress and Jonathan Edwards with a stunning soundtrack from Andy Votel.

Originally commissioned by The Lakes International Comic Arts Festival and The Finnish Institute in London.
