Since opening in 2013, he has exhibited names such as Ren Hang (CH), Zanele Muholi (ZA), Karolina Wojtas (PL), Sami Parkkinen (FI), Pixy Liao (CH), Yushi Li (CH), Andrea Gjestvang (NO ) AdeY (GB/SE) and Nelli Palomäki (FI). As well as participating in larger art fairs such as Unseen Amsterdam (2018, 19, 21 and 22) Paris Photo (2021 and 2022) and MIA Milan (2021). In 2022 Vasli was appointed the position as curator of the Nordic Light Festival of Photography, and has since contributed to the festival as head of the artistic board.
