TUO TUO is an artist-led project space and residency nestled in the former schoolhouse of Pynnölä village in Joutsa, established in January 2020. This unique venue stands as a vibrant alternative to urban art institutions, dedicated to exploring the intersections of sound, visual art, performance, and the environmental arts and sciences. As a dynamic collaborative organism, TUO TUO cultivates an ecosystem where solitary thought breeds communal solidarity. Their mission is to act as a fertile ground for innovative ideas and to nurture collaboration across disciplines. Through transdisciplinary programs and residencies, TUO TUO fosters close cooperation between artists, thinkers, researchers, and cultural actors. With a commitment to balancing pancultural pluralism with local consciousness, TUO TUO integrates deeply into the social and cultural fabric of Joutsa and Finland, all while maintaining a broad international focus.
