PORTAL is an artist run website presenting norm critical performance art. It is curated by theatre company Blaue Frau and Elina Tervonen. Each season, 6-9 artists and groups working in the field of performance art join PORTAL and put their mark on the content. On PORTAL you can read about these artists’ work. We also publish interviews and articles of other interesting artists working in performance arts. We aim to publish an experimental critique of performance art.

PORTAL is a platform where artists can meet up, share knowledge and create new collaborations. We want to create possibilities to network and form new ways of collaboration between groups, artists, institutions and other agents within the field of performative arts.

PORTAL hosts streamed or live public events. The content of the events and workshops is based on the knowledge, interest and methods of the selected artists and Blaue Frau.

On PORTAL you will find presentations of the selected artists and groups. You will also find information about the workshops which the artists are hosting.

PORTAL 2021 is supported by Jenni och Antti Wihurin Rahasto, Samuel Hubers Konststiftelse, Helsingfors Svenska Bostadsstiftelse and Föreningen Konstsamfundet.
