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 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.

Do play with food

Do Play with the Food is an interactive game encouraging players to dive in, break standard etiquette, and embrace mannerless behaviour around food.

The game is played on a board of sauces,
condiments and edible sand that are placed on the surface
to create a landscape.
Players use manna balls to navigate the board, or plantain bits - as you wish

Designed for two or more people,
the game does not come with more instructions.

Asked to dive in,
figure out how to score!

**Doing It With Others: Minna Tarkka Lectures 2025**
by Adela Lovric
“Caroline Suinner’s unruly food spread⁠—an assemblage of gooey, creamy and crumbly bits and pieces, laid out for hands-on engagement, whether to eat or to play with. Playfulness initially faltered against the disciplined atmosphere of the grand art institution, mirroring the very social conditioning Hejazi seeks to “reprogram.” Play had to be practiced again, pushed through internalized constraints, rewiring our capacity for free expression⁠ and bringing us back to a place of collective imagination.“

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.
