Divas and village women
–
Sinkka’s collection includes almost 30,000 photographs, the oldest of which were taken over a hundred years ago.
The photographs capture the lives of people who once lived and moments of history that reach us like the lights of distant stars after a long journey. The people’s stories may have been lost, but their essence can still touch us.
Divas and Village Women focuses on a long-ago world of women and girls. The photographs show posing divas of the fairgrounds, farmers’ wives and bouncy girls. In addition, visitors to the exhibition can take photos at an old photography studio set and walk along a 3D model of old highway in Kerava, the carnival city.
