Kulttuurikeskus Ninho invites you to a community gathering, where we’ll mix traditions, arts and crafts, and awesome vibes!
Join us next 23.10.2025 at Globe Art Point (Helsinki) in a very special evening that celebrates its 2nd edition! During the encounter, we’ll learn how to make traditional Mexican paper marigold flowers (Cempasúchil) and papel picado, two essential elements of Día de Muertos.
If you want to join us, please fill this form by 15.10.2025!
We’re a community-based association focused on children’s culture. These volunteers gatherings help us organise our projects and bring our members and friends together.
Last year we had so much fun making the flowers, listening to Mexican music, and learning more about this beautiful Mexican and Central-American tradition.
Around 26 friends showed up at at this volunteer gathering in Helsinki and we managed to create more than 200 marigold flowers!
These decorations are part of a large-scale community installation in the children’s section of Oodi Library! The installation is an important activity of Ninho’s Día de Muertos – Family Day event, that will take part in Oodi next 1.11.2025.
The community installation includes the flowers, papel picado, and small altars created by families at our non-stop workshop.
All these elements will be placed in the trees of Oodi’s children’s section, filling the space with colour, love and memories of the pets, friends and family members who are no longer with us.
In the 2025 edition, we hope to go even further and we need your hands, ideas, and your joyful spirit to make it happen!
