About the event

ABOAGORA: Venus, the Bringer of Peace
🪐 The science and art event ABOAGORA’s theme in 2025 is Venus, the Bringer of Peace. The three-day main event will be held for the 15th time at the Sibelius Museum in Turku, 10–12 September 2025. 🪐

☮️ ABOAGORA’s ethos is that solving the pressing problems of our time requires not only an interdisciplinary approach, but also a combination of scientific and artistic perspectives. This September, ABOAGORA delves into the realm of Venus and Venusian mythologies, and explores different aspects on peace, détente, conflict resolution, peaceful coexistence between peoples, different species and the earth, as well as inner peace and well-being. ☮️

The Agora sessions – the keynotes of the event – are free of charge and open to all, and do not require advance registration.

🕊️ In addition to the Agora sessions, panels, workshops and artistic sessions will be experienced in ABOAGORA over the course of three days. These presentations, panels, and workshops explore e.g. femininity and sensual, embodied knowledge, reconciliation, public memory in post-conflict societies, imagined futures and peace in biodiversity. 🕊️

🎶 With the exception of Agora sessions and the Thursday night concert at the Turku Cathedral, the event requires registration. The entrance fee for the three-day event is 50 €. Reduced entrance fee of 20€ applies for students, doctoral researchers, professional artists and other unwaged participants. 🎶

This year there is also a one-day ticket (20€) for access on only Wednesday, Thursday or Friday.
