Minna Suoniemi (b. 1972) is a Helsinki-based artist working with moving image and sound. Her practice draws from embodied experience and feminist knowledge production and she has worked on themes such as control, body, class and family. Her latest project examines the the materiality of the ageing body and transgenerationional bodily experience of being in-excess and excessiveness.
Suoniemi has exhibited internationally in Europe, United States, South America and Asia and her work is represented in Finnish collections including EMMA, Kiasma and the Finnish State Art Collection. She has been nominated for trustee positions i.e. The Finnish Arts Promotion Center and has worked as an artist and pedagogue in various Institutions.
