Animale, a solo exhibition by Hanna Tuulikki
Launching Saturday 4 July 2026, 6-8pm at Void Art Centre
The team at Void Art Centre invite you to the launch of ‘Animale’, a solo exhibition by British-Finnish artist and composer Hanna Tuulikki that brings together new and existing film and sound works to explore how gendered identities are shaped through entanglements between humans and the more-than-human world.
The launch will take place on Saturday 4 July 2026, from 6-8pm at Void Art Centre. Refreshments will be provided, and we welcome BYOB!
Across works Deer Dancer (2019), cloud-cuckoo-island (2016) and Seahorse (2026), Hanna uses vocal performance, costume and cinematic embodiment to reimagine masculinity as a performed and mutable condition, reframed through animal behaviour, myth and ecological relation. Moving between ritual, lament and testimony, the works trace cycles of violence, trauma, care and interdependence, positioning voice, gesture and multispecies communication as sites through which alternative, more attentive ways of being might be rehearsed.
About the artist
Hanna Tuulikki is an award-winning British-Finnish artist, composer, and performer based in Scotland. Her work explores our connection with the more-than-human world. Practising across sound art, music, visual art, and live art, she blends sonic composition with ritual forms and visual elements – including costume, choreography, and graphic scores – to tell ‘stories of re-worlding’ through immersive installation, moving image, and live performance.
At the heart of her practice, Hanna works with the voice, using singing and extended vocalisation to explore how the body communicates beyond language. Her sonic compositions weave vocal textures – both composed and improvised – with field recordings and electronics. Often site-specific, her work engages directly with place, activating natural acoustics and adopting processes of experimental translation to create hybrid ‘human-and-more-than-human’ soundscapes. Her work with choreography, costume, and visual scores expands this inquiry, examining how movement and image can embody a kinaesthetic form of listening, while her drawn notations map relationships between voices, bodies, and landscapes, deepening our sensory connection to place and ecology.
