Over the decades, the traditions of the Kaustinen Folk Music Festival and the festival guests' own festivals have been recorded in the archives of the Folk Music Institute as well as in private photo folders. Kaustinen home album -project brings together retrospectives and family albums: a photographic exhibition and an electronic photo folder build a collection of historical and contemporary memories of the most important folk music event in the province and the country.
The project will juxtapose the archive images from the festivals with images from home albums taken at the festivals, both through an electronic photo folder that will be updated throughout the year and through a photo exhibition during the festival. The material - photos and related memories - is mainly gathered from people who have photographed festival memories over the decades of the festival. These treasures from home archives are supplemented by festival photos from the archive of the Folk Music Institute. The collection is now open!
The electronic photo folder will be published on 1 January 2017 and will be updated throughout the 2017 festival year. Some of the collected photos will be selected for a photo exhibition in the festival area during the Folk Music Festival from 10 to 16 July 2017. The photos will be collected primarily in electronic format.
Send your festival photos to the project and participate in the compilation of the all-time Kaustinen home album!
