About the speaker
Tärähtäneet ämmät / Nutty Tarts are serious about arts
–without taking themselves too seriously
Remember Monokini 2.0., a swimwear collection for women who have gone through breast cancer and mastectomy? The beautiful photos went viral last year. Tärähtäneet ämmät / Nutty Tarts, the artistic duo behind that, are bringing SHOCK on stage at our next event.
Provocation and humour are key values in Katriina Haikala's and Vilma Metteri's art. They wish to reach audiences beyond the usual gallery-goer. Tärähtäneet ämmät / Nutty Tarts use the SHOCK factor as a tool for sparking discussion and provoking change.
A random pick from their portfolio: underwear with pubic hair printed on them. Yes, it seems to tick all their boxes.
