Hi!
You just entered into my portfolio. I’m visual artist, drag performer and doctoral researcher Timo Tähkänen based in Helsinki, Finland. In my artistic and autobiographical research, I delve into the significance of listening within the queer body and its implications for my artistic practice. I also examine how my
research context reflects the world I inhabit. My aim is to engage with the world from a
perspective that embraces listening and emotional depth—particularly the nuances of
queer emotions. My artistic research is supported by the Kone Foundation.

My artistic practice is driven by questions about the listening and the social connections as a material of visual art.
As a medium, the body becomes a tool for examining myself and my subject matter. I think of my performances as drag.
Maimu Brushwood is my poem and story writing drag alter ego. She´s a living room activist and she wants to make the world a better place. Ja sama Suomeksi!
