'Under the Leaf' is an art book fair in Helsinki hosting local and international exhibitors featuring a wide variety of publishing practices —from zines to artists’ books, experimental publications and contemporary art editions. The location changes yearly.
We’re thrilled to present this edition in collaboration with the University of the Arts, which will allow for new kinds of exploration and connection throughout the artist publishing community, and a more diverse and international fair experience. The entrance to the festival and fair is free.
The programme consists of talks and performances by international guests and collectives invited to the fair as influential actors of the field. In addition, live music, poetry readings, food art and more! The full programme will be announced in 2026.
