Urban Lab Helsinki

‘Cities are filled with unused and underused spaces and at the same time there is a great need for public or semi-public space from NGOs, citizen groups and cultural organisations’

In 2019 and 2020, Urban Lab Helsinki Kaapelitehdas opened its doors to the public for an experimental event ‘Wild Use’. Taking this leap of faith proved to be a huge success! With dancers, circus performers, martial art enthusiasts plus many more community groups flocking to the cultural space.
