Breaking My Love's Wings: Saija Kalliojärvi Confronts Toxic Love at Galleria Vivi
Breaking My Love's Wings, Saija Kalliojärvi's exhibition about letting go of toxic love, runs at Galleria Vivi from 11 Nov to 2 Dec 2026; the opening reception is on 13 Nov at 18:00.
The City of Tampere reports: Breaking My Love's Wings, Saija Kalliojärvi's new exhibition about letting go of toxic love, runs at Galleria Vivi from 11 November to 2 December 2026. The opening reception is on 13 November at 18:00.
Kalliojärvi, a Tampere-based artist who works in photography, drawing, painting and media art, frames the show around personal experience while leaving space for viewers to find their own connections. She calls the project a ritual and a declaration. It is a deliberate refusal of a love that demands cruel, unflinching and destructive acts, and an exploration of how hard it can be to let go even when a relationship's toxicity is clear.
Galleria Vivi is the City of Tampere's youth services exhibition space for creators aged 9–29. The gallery is on the first floor of the youth cultural centre Monitoimitalo 13 at Pellavatehtaankatu 4, and it is open Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 20:00. Admission is free.
The show continues a recent run of youth exhibitions at Galleria Vivi, following an August exhibition on self‑love and personal limits and a September show that invited visitors to find light within darkness.
