Elements Ball x R4
The Nordic Mother Coco Xclusive Lanvin Presents:
Welcome to the Elements Ball, where we celebrate not just a night, but the 6th Anniversary of this incredible journey. Since 2019, the idea behind Elements has always been simple: to create intimate gatherings for our community, to experiment with new or familiar categories, and to share moments of joy together.
What began in the cozy cellar of Putte's Bar and Pizza has evolved into something truly special. From there, we've been fortunate to host our Balls in a variety of spaces from institutions and museums to vibrant clubs and even outdoor events. Each space has been a new chapter in this shared story, and we couldn't be more excited to continue growing with you.
Tonight, we are taking over R4 in Teurastamo as our new hub for the summer. We’ve been lucky enough to have space for both our Sessions and now the Mini Ball, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to call this vibrant space our home for the season.
Our Commitments:
No to: Sexism, homophobia, transphobia, racism, ageism, ableism, body shaming, or any form of discrimination.
Yes to: Equality, diversity, creativity, participation, learning, new experiences, togetherness, and love.
Please note the safer space instructions in the Ball information.
Warmly welcome!
