IHME Helsinki is a contemporary art commissioning agency that unites the worlds of art, science and climate action. Each year we produce a public artwork and a series of events that offer hope in a time of environmental crisis. Our events are free of charge and open to all. IHME Helsinki Commission 2025 is a video installation by Ukrainian artist Zhanna Kadyrova, which will take place at the Voimala Museum in Vanhankaupunginkoski, Helsinki, from 23 August to 2 October 2025. Kadyrova is interested in water bodies and energy infrastructures, through which she explores the effects of both “progress” and conflict on life-support systems. Also present is the hope that arises from the ability of other ecosystems to sustain life. For more information on the work and the artist visit: ihmehelsinki.fi and kadyrova.com.

We are now looking for a Communications Intern to assist with communications, venue visibility, marketing campaigns, and other possible production tasks. As an intern you can be a student or a recent graduate. We offer an opportunity to be involved with a public artwork devised by an international artist, social media communications for it, venue visibility, and the marketing campaign.

As an intern at IHME Helsinki, you will be an important part of IHME’s team, which includes artist Zhanna Kadyrova, the Executive Director, Communications Planner, and audience workers. You will learn about ecologically sustainable production, communications, and marketing for an international artist’s public artwork. You will learn about a contemporary art institution that is promoting the cultural change needed in the environmental crisis, and be involved in planning and implementing venue visibility and marketing communications for the Commission. You will also learn about ways of thinking about and reducing the carbon footprint of art production. You will help promote equality and safer spaces for participation in the arts.
