Southnord Artfest 2026 - Art Cruise

Join us for the Southnord Art Cruise Afterwork on 21 October 2026 on board Tallink Silja Line, as we sail from Stockholm to Helsinki for the Artfest 2026. We follow the trail of artist Emeka Ogboh’s Danfo bus straight into the main exhibition The Other Side of the Mountain at Amos Rex. Once in Helsinki, you will be treated to a curator's tour of the exhibition, and also have a chance to experience Roots En Route , our multi-sensory exhibition in dialogue with the plants at Kaisaniemi Botanic Garden. As we embark on our journey from Stockholm, we take over the Starlight Club from 17:00 to 19:30 for an afterwork at sea. Expect an exclusive screening of Transmissions – the brand-new Nordic-specific video piece by Emeka Ogboh, goodie bags, old school vibes and Afrobeats by DJ Wonekai, as well as good conversation with fellow art lovers making the crossing together. Everyone is welcome, so bring a friend! The cruise takes you from Stockholm at 16:30 on Wednesday 21 October and brings you back again Friday 23 October 2026 at 10:00. Book you cruise ticket directly on Tallink Silja Line. RSVP for the Art Cruise Afterwork ticket here.
