Kaisa Lassinaro
Kaisa Lassinaro (she/they) is a Helsinki-based PhD researcher looking at feminist-political articulations and the way aesthetics enable a formation of an agency. It brings to the fore historical and current example of these articulations. This research is a continuation of their graphic design practice with an interest in distributing feminist histories to new audiences through the form of printed matter – the materiality of archives and paper have a connection to our senses in a way digital does not. Having studied in Amsterdam and practicing as an independent designer in the cultural field in London and Glasgow, they have worked together with feminist artists and institutions with similar interests. The current research is deepening their knowledge gained on feminist and LGBTQI+ archives, as well as on many modes of artistic practices.
