The exhibition is presented by the <strong>Embassy of Peru in Finland.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Originating from the Andean region of Ayacucho, retablos are handcrafted three-dimensional artworks made from wood and plaster. Their intricate miniature figures and richly detailed scenes portray Peruvian traditions, religious celebrations, community life and everyday moments. For generations, Ayacucho artists have used retablos to preserve stories, memories and cultural traditions. Each work offers a small window into Peruvian life, combining remarkable craftsmanship with storytelling and symbolism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Peruvian retablos are handcrafted wooden boxes filled with carefully sculpted and painted miniature figures that depict scenes<br>of everyday life, celebrations, religious devotion, traditions and historical memory. Originating in the Andean region of Ayacucho,<br>retablos are among the most emblematic expressions of Peruvian popular art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><br>The word \u00abretablo\u00bb comes from the Spanish tradition of church altarpieces. During the colonial period, portable devotional boxes<br>containing images of saints were introduced to the Andes by Spanish missionaries. Over time, artists transformed these objects<br>into a uniquely Peruvian art form, blending Catholic imagery with Indigenous worldviews, local traditions, and contemporary<br>experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>Discover these vibrant works and explore the rich cultural heritage of Peru in the heart of Helsinki.<\/strong><br>19 October \u2013 6 November 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">NH Collection Helsinki Grand Hansa, Secret Garden bridge (after hotel reception)<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" data-id=\"3170\" src=\"https:\/\/hansacafehelsinki.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/L-HELSINKI02_02-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hansacafehelsinki.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/L-HELSINKI02_02-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hansacafehelsinki.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/L-HELSINKI02_02-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hansacafehelsinki.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/L-HELSINKI02_02-1920x1536.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"3168\" src=\"https:\/\/hansacafehelsinki.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/L-HELSINKI05_03-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hansacafehelsinki.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/L-HELSINKI05_03-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/hansacafehelsinki.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/L-HELSINKI05_03-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/hansacafehelsinki.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/L-HELSINKI05_03-1-1281x1920.jpg 1281w, https:\/\/hansacafehelsinki.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/L-HELSINKI05_03-1-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"3164\" src=\"https:\/\/hansacafehelsinki.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Peruvian-Day-02-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hansacafehelsinki.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Peruvian-Day-02-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/hansacafehelsinki.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Peruvian-Day-02-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/hansacafehelsinki.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Peruvian-Day-02.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover the Living Art of Peru From 19 October to 6 November 2026, a selection of traditional Ayacucho retablos will&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3157,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"company":[28],"class_list":["post-3156","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-campaigns","company-grand-hansa-hotel-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
