Ptarmigan existed as a project space in Vallila from 2009-2011 and a mobile curatorial/creative platform until 2014. We no longer exist as an organised collective, but this website will continue to serve as an archive of the activities produced as/at Ptarmigan during these years.
November's Labyrinths and Rings programme continues our interest in experimental film and video work and also features a past and current resident discussing his latest project. As always we'll have refreshments and music, with DJ Adam Strohm tonight serving up the tunes.
