This is it. Finally, Living Spaces comes to life.

The festival kicks off with Foodycle from 10:00 until 15:00 at the Helsinki Think Company in Viikki Campus of the University of Helsinki. There's a farmer's market ongoing and numerous talks, seminars and presentations throughout the day. The full programme can be viewed here. Read an interview with Foodycle organisers Ruoan Tulevaisuus here.

At 18:00, How to Inhabit a Transitory Space opens. This is a process-exhibition at MaaTila (Albertinkatu 19) led by Egle Oddo, which will run continuously, 24 hours per day, until 18:00 on Sunday. This is not just an exhibition, but a participatory project - you will be part of the process, so bring your own ideas to input. You can also read an interview with Egle here.

Tonight at 21:00 is the festival opening event at Mad House's Ihana Baari in Suvilahti. This is a chance to meet and greet other festival-goers, pick up copies of the festival programme, and enjoy some vinyl being played by DJ's Arttu Partinen and Gareth Hayes. Please come and say hello!
