Mari Nurmenniemi is a multidisciplinary artist whose emerging practice gravitates toward healing, sensual pleasures, and the dissolution of boundaries. Rooted in family histories of farming, intergenerational trauma, and the entanglements of soil, plants, chemicals, and bodies, her work unfolds through embodied, site-responsive, and temporally attuned processes. Nurmenniemi also works as costume designer for contemporary performances and facilitates workshops.
She hold a master’s degree in Fashion, Clothing, and Textile Design from Aalto University (2018) and her work has been supported by the Finnish Cultural Foundation, the Arts Promotion Centre Finland, Kone Foundation, and The Promotion Centre for Audiovisual Culture.
Currently she is studying in the transdisciplinary Master’s Degree Programme of Visual Cultures, Curating and Contemporary Art at Aalto University and will graduate in autumn 2026.
