Outi Salonlahti takes part in the seminar Failing to make it better, organized by ROM. The seminar is a day of talks and action exploring how we can design a future with care and inclusion as key values.
The event focuses on the normative structures at play in civic and cultural life which are built upon established methodologies and traditions. How can we create, encourage and embed a process of meaningful participation that revolves around inclusion and diversity?

Contributors are Emma Nilsson, Rector at Bergen School of Architecture; Eva Rowson, Director at Bergen Kjøtt; Outi Salonlahti, Senior Specialist, Accessibility and Communications at Culture for All; Tiril Hasseknippe, artist.
