Minna Suoniemi (b. 1972) is a Helsinki-based artist working with moving image and sound. Her practice draws from embodied experience, and she has worked on themes such as control, body, class and family. Her latest project examines the materiality of the ageing body and transgenerationional bodily experience of being in-excess and excessiveness. Her academic interests include transformative, artistic and arts-based pedagogical practices, questions of class in arts and education, embodied and feminist approaches towards knowing and researching.
Suoniemi’s work has been exhibited internationally and her work is represented in Finnish collections including EMMA, Kiasma and the Finnish State Art Collection. She has been invited for trustee positions i.e. The Finnish Arts Promotion Center and has worked as an artist and pedagogue in various Institutions. Since 2014 Suoniemi works as a University Lecturer in Aalto University, Department of Art and Media.
