Rosa-Maria Nuutinen has been selected as the first intern of the Borderland Poetics: Rewilding Tongues. Nuutinen was selected via an open call and she will conduct her internship as production assistant at the 19th Tallinn Print Triennial from May to July 2025.
Rosa-Maria Nuutinen is a Tallinn based multidisciplinary artist working with drawing, sculpture, creative writing and film. In her work Nuutinen explores the juxtaposition of the physical and the digital by questioning our collective relationship towards technology, asking how our inventions mould our society and personal experiences of place. Nuutinen is a BA Fine Art graduate from Chelsea College of Arts, London (2015-2018), and is currently undergoing her master’s studies in Contemporary Art at the Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA). Her work has been exhibited at Annka Kultys Gallery and SEAGER in London, Vaal Gallery in Tallinn and other gallery spaces across the UK and the EU. Nuutinen was recently shortlisted for the Young Sculptor Award 2025 in Tallinn.
Britta Benno, the board memeber at the Tallinn Print Triennial comments: “Rosa knows well what exhibition production involves and has plenty of enthusiasm and capability to work on all necessary tasks. I see Rosa as a strong team member as well as someone who can very well navigate the art field on her own.”
The internship program is part of the project Borderland Poetics: Rewilding Tongues, which is a cooperation project between the Estonian Centre for Contemporary Art (Tallinn, Estonia), Aine Art Museum (Tornio, Finland), Icelandic Art Center (Reykjavik, Iceland) and Mostyn (Llandudno, Wales). The aim of the project is to connect cultural professionals based in Wales and in the Baltic-Nordic region and create paid internship opportunities for emerging cultural professionals.
The programme is supported by the Nordic Culture Point.
