SUMMARY:Kohtuuden kuolema -The Death of Moderation Maria Mastola feat. Irma Tasolama
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the opening on Friday 30.5, from 6 PM to 8 PM, at Maa-Tila!
Moderation is no longer in fashion. It doesn’t appear in advertisements, it doesn’t attract clicks, and it doesn’t work as a slogan. Today, speed, growth, and constant renewal are seen as self-evident values — things we are expected to pursue, maintain, and accelerate. Moderation, with its calm rhythm and quiet presence, has faded into the background.
This shift hasn’t happened by accident. Advertising, social media, and a culture built on comparison have created an environment where “enough” is no longer sufficient. Contentment easily appears as stagnation, and to pause is seen as a form of failure. Public discourse has become polarized — extremes dominate, and compromise has lost its value. In an age that rewards hardness and visibility, moderation is often mistaken for weakness.
But perhaps now is exactly the right moment to ask: what comes after moderation? What kind of society are we becoming if we no longer recognize what is enough, or are unable to accept limits
— even when they are necessary? What happens to shared responsibility, long-term thinking, or trust, if everything is guided by short-term gain and self-interest?
