Minna Henriksson (FI)
Artist
Minna Henriksson (b. 1976, Oulu, lives in Helsinki) is a visual artist who works with a disparate range of tools including text, drawing and linocut. She studied art in Brighton, Helsinki and Malmö. Her work is often collaborative and relates to the anti-racist, leftist, and feminist struggles. In recent years her work has often dealt with archives and histories. Her work is research-based and engages with covert political processes that appear to be neutral or natural. In 2017 Henriksson was awarded with the Anni and Heinrich Sussmann Award of artistic work committed to the ideal of democracy and antifascism.
