More contributions have come in from the Nordic region and beyond. Additional artists and photographers are also very welcome. The next stops planned for the exhibit will be Helsinki and Minneapolis in September, 2008, Toronto November 2008, and Budapest and Bucharest in 2009.

Membership Drive
If you know other rainbow cultural activists and supporters in the Nordic region who might want to join Tupilak, please contact them and give them our address or let us know and we'll contact them.
