suinner is an interdisciplinary artist and culture worker known for projects concentrating
on representations of our diverse realities - gathering together presentations of emotion and identity rooted experiences.
Status quo challenging, curious, immersive and experimental projects, that have the examination of politics,
histories, responses and responsibilities of bod(y/ies) in relation to their surroundings is what they naturally are drawn to.

The latest involvements of suinner has had to do with intake, installing sound and food as well as other concentrated or
immersive installation experiences that have to do what we intake and affect.

They are a founding member of Ruskeat Tytöt Ry (eng. Brown Girls ngo), Club U-Haul and Pehmee (eng. The Soft Collective.)
All these projects have started from the need for radically feminist, QTBIPOC safety and joy centering spaces.
Creating more intentional creative outlets and educational programs, from club nights to international cultural platforms feels
important. Firstly for us by us and then eventually so, for the benefit of all.

Catching (what u throwing)

A kiss where lips barely touch,
here we negotiate,
Can I slip into your mouth?

You can tell me how far.

Um.
Want to be a stripper to my rapper?
Want to throw?
Sidequest to a dark corner of the club.

I sit and you back up

You whine,
slide, bounce.
And
I realize that the difference
of platonic part
and this,

is the grip.

The way I catch
will affect how you throw,
because how else would you know
the rhythm, the beat,
will determine
if someone is getting beat and ate.

If you throw, I will catch.

Catching (what u throwing) is a morning hour text that you did not dare to send, a poem to a lesbian lover that begged to be screamed out loud.

Performance is loosely a continuation of suinners & the soft collectives project; hit different.
A performative gesture to share personal experiences of life with/through music.
On stage, a man and guitar type of situation, emoting invited. Serenading in a language of respectful club queer erotics, Catching looks to dance within skin, between bodies as electric invite to consider oneself and others in space. All this while talking about the obsession of falling,

The linger, the repetition, the pulse.
Now, it's for you.

Learners, Builders

Food display; It’s all there - breaking, sharing, rebuilding, moulding, communicating about future.

To speak of this food, this gathering, as if the very earth hums beneath it,
as if stories untold reside in the curve of a pickled onion,
the whisper of a seaweed chip.

Listen. This ain't just food laid out for the eye to skim over.
This here is where a conversation started, a hand offered across a divide.
You gotta come together, see?

You cant have your own piece.
And don't be shy now, go on and touch the food.

Lean in close, love. Closer still.
Smell the salt of the sea clinging to the crumble, the sharp tang of the vinegar that woke up those onions.
These ain't just tastes; they're memories waiting to be stirred.

And when your hands get sticky, good.
That means you've been part of the making,
the taking apart, the putting back together.

Now, you gotta look at it.
Not just a glance, but a long, slow gaze.
See the way the colors play, the shapes they make.
Maybe what you thought it was at first ain't what it truly is.
Ain't nothing wrong with being wrong, you hear?
Sometimes the sweetest truths hide behind a mistaken glance.

This ain't just about eating. This is about building.
Building bridges between what you know and what you're about to understand.
Each taste, each texture, a layer added to the story.
