NATO Diary
A one-year exhibition that ran from June 2023 to autumn 2024 at Alkovi, Helsinki. Mixing diary entries, posters, and hasty printouts with a memetic takeover of Alkovi’s Instagram, the exhibition was a platform to comment on anything from trans lives to Joe Biden visiting Helsinki.

About
For the past 15 years, Mia Wennerstrand (b. Finland) has created works around intimacy, whether between herself and audience, or the EU and its citizens. Her visual works have been shown at e.g. Assembly Point, London, and Babycastles, New York. Her writing has appeared in DIS magazine, AQNB, and in exhibition catalogs, and art & academic publications both in Finland and internationally. Onstage, she creates temporary sites of thinking differently, or reprieves from “the crisis ordinary”, following Lauren Berlant. Wennerstrand is currently pursuing a PhD in Performance Practices at Gothenburg University, Sweden. She is sun in Cancer, moon in Capricorn, with Virgo ascending.
