About

Hey there, I'm Finn!

 

I'm an artist and writer interested in accessibility, care, and belonging. This includes exploring the relationships between citizens, their care systems, and their government. In this, I'm inspired by literature from the field of (critical) disability studies and crip theory, as well as personal stories.

 

I enjoy listening to others and what they think of their lives, their care systems, their government, you name it. I think I make my best work when I start from something small. This way, complex themes can become more tangible. What do we actually mean when we say we want to be accessible? Or inclusive? I've learned that more often than not, we're not really sure.​

​

Some of my favourite texts are Karen Soldatic's 'Disability and Neoliberal State Formations', Victor Finkelstein's personal accounts about disability and South African Apartheid, Joan Tronto's 'caring demoracy', and Mia Mingus' blog 'leaving evidence'. 

​

I am currently following a Masters in Fine Art at the University in Bergen. This follows the completion of my two bachelor degrees: a BA in Illustration at the Willem de Kooning Academy, and a BSc in Liberal Arts and Sciences at Erasmus University College, where I majored in Political Philosophy & Critical Theory.
