Fionn Angus from Ireland brings the Happiness Project to Outsider Art Festival! Fionn and Sami Helle (Pertin valinta/OAF) work together in OAF venues and talk with people about happiness. Follow the project on OAF Instagram and share your own experience! What makes you happy in your life?
The Happiness project encourages people to share their dreams and support each other in making every day life meaningful and happy. Fionn and Sami are great inspiration, as they have made their dreams come true by creating dream jobs for them selves. Fionn works as an inspirational speaker and tours around the world speaking about inclusion and disability employment with his father Jonathan. Fionn is also a talented fiddle player! Sami has made a career in the creative sector and international projects. Sami founded Pertti’s Choice, a social enterprise behind OAF, with his band members of Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät (PKN) punk band. PKN represented Finland in Eurovision song contest in 2015. Over the recent years, Sami has organized OAF pop up events in NYC, London, Paris and Berlin. In 2025, OAF will land in Tokyo!
