Who?
I’m a Helsinki-based writer and documentarist. Besides writing nonfiction I photograph and work on various art projects. I’ve also made television and radio documentaries.
My fifth nonfiction book on Africa was published in spring 2025. Unlike the previous three books taking place in South Africa and a book from Kakuma refugee camp in the Horn of Africa, Seuraavat elämät (Next Lives – the African Downside of the European Recycling Effort ) takes place in a huge electronic waste recycling site in Accra, Ghana.
I have held own exhibitions in the Finnish Museum of Photography, in the Northern Photographic Centre and in the Helinä Rautavaara Museum. I’ve also participated in several group exhibitions.
I have an MA in cultural studies from the University of Helsinki, a Postgraduate Diploma in Film and Television from the University of Bristol and a teacher’s qualification from the Häme University of Applied Sciences.
