Laura Hasanen (FI/USA) is a visual artist and art educator based in Helsinki. She works across sculpture, paper-making, video, and installation. Her practice explores topics related to identity, gender, and (non) normativity, with an emphasis on tactile processes and material exploration. Drawing from personal experience, her work seeks to investigate the body as a site of knowledge production, making visible the sensate and affective impressions made upon the body by the social, cultural, and political contexts it inhabits.

She holds an MA in Nordic Visual Studies and Art Education from Aalto University and Bachelors in Fine Art from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
