Susanna Hast is a Finnish author, performer and a researcher of war and militarism. She is an associate professor of artistic research at the Theatre Academy, Uniarts Helsinki. Hast has studied compassion in war, Finnish military training and synchronicity in capoeira, among other things. She is known for using sound art and song writing in her research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hast\u2019s first literary novel Ruumis\/huoneet (Body of Evidence) published by S&S won the prestigious Helsingin Sanomat literature prize in 2022 and was praised for its raw and honest account of sexual violence as well as its genre-bending form. Hast\u2019s second novel Toivottomuus (Despair, S&S) was nominated for Runeberg-prize in 2025 and European Union Literature Prize in 2026. In reviews Despair has been called structurally ambitious world-class literature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years Susanna Hast has become one of the rising voices of Finnish literary fiction. She brings citation into literature as an uncompromising artistic practice and transforms the novel into a space of thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onerva Luoma<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Onerva Luoma is a multidisciplinary artist, costume designer, and writer. Driven by the use of recycled materials, playfulness is central to her work. Everything she creates could be described as collage: Luoma collects and rearranges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her practice is characterized by various in-betweens. She is equally at home in the borderlands between art and design, text and image, as well as science and art. In recent years, her artistic practice has focused on exploring what a meaningful relationship with clothing might mean in the context of the climate catastrophe. She is currently leading a pilot project to establish Finland\u2019s first clothing library at the Oodi Central Library in Helsinki. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her works have been featured in solo exhibitions in Finland and the United States. Luoma has worked as a costume designer for theaters such as Q-teatteri, Oulu Theater, and Vaasa City Theater. She has created performance costumes for artists such as Litku Klemetti. Her debut novel will be published in the summer of 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
