Calling Eura is an environmental artwork made by artist Kalle Hamm, he made it with the help of the pupils from Eura’s comprehensive school. In the first stage, pupils gathered memories and stories of the meaningful places from the people in Eura. Based on these stories Hamm structured four guided tours on which the audience can familiarize themselves on these locations. Sites are marked with small plates. From the plates you can read the story of the interviewed person. In addition, YLE Satakunta radio will broadcast stories read by children during the fall of 2006.

Calling Eura is a monument for local identity and for the remembrance of your own history. This work of art records the local micro history and recent history. At the same time, it offers an alternative for the “official” way of writing history that has an alienating viewpoint towards personal experiences: what someone has experienced on that particular location and what it means to her/him.

Calling Eura is a part of an environmental project, made in cooperation with Pori Art Museum, called “Art Here, There and Everywhere”. Other partners in this project are Pori Centre for Children’s Culture – Network of Children’s Culture in Satakunta, Eura Muncipality, Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma and YLE Satakunta radio.
