Naomi Klein in Helsinki
I went to see Naomi Klein when she held a lecture last week (5.6.2008) in Helsinki University Metsätalo. I was there fifteen minutes early and the room was already full and we were told that they cannot let people in anymore, it would be too “dangerous”... well after a while they still let some more people in so I managed to squeeze in :)
The talk was really good, however nothing new if you have read the book. Here is a description of it if you understand Swedish. Professor Heikki Patomäki was there as well joining the discussion and offering some critique even though they agreed on the central issues.
The very unsharp and fuzzy mobile phone picture to the right is just to prove that I was really there :)
