BIOGRAPHY
Kemê (1983) is a neurodivergent polydisciplinary artist, poet, and parent of Sephardi/Mizrahi/Spanish descent based in Helsinki who perceives the arts as tools able to move us through the spiritual and the subconscious, connecting us on a deeper level.
She intuitively embraces a diverse range of mediums, including photography, textiles, illustration, performance, installation or text. These mediums serve as languages, attempting to bridge the constructions we inhabit and our complexities and helping her to traverse multiple readings of concepts such as memory, connection, myths, representation, symbols, and rituals.
As Kemê's artistic practice evolves, it becomes increasingly malleable, intertwined with facilitation through workshops, readings, talks, rituals or other ways of maintaining dialogue, And also constantly reshaped by her own changing conditions in relation to caregiving responsibilities, such as a colleague, friend, caregiver, and mother.
Since 2015 Kemê has been active independently and in collectives fosusing on care, diversity, accesibility, antiracism, feminist practices, and structural transformation. More info about Kemê as culture worker/facilitator.
*Kemê is currently (2025) working with a one year Artists working grant from Taiteen edistämiskeskus
