In 2021, I was invited to work as one of HIAP’s supporting curators of the year, as well as a jury member to select the year’s upcoming residents. We had the chance to meet and have conversations with artists, writers and filmmakers such as E. L. Karhu, Freja Bäckman, Jessie Bullivant, Laura Hyppönen, Lucila Mayol, Shayma Nader, Michaela Casková, Minou Norouzi and Néstor García.
