Hanna-Katri is a Finnish illustrator, animator and graphic designer currently based in Sweden who merges fantasy and reality to explore feelings of joy, nostalgia and hope.
Holding a Bachelor of Arts from Aalto University (2023) and a Master of Arts from Konstfack (2025), their practice envisions alternative, sustainable futures. While researching the on-going climate crisis and ecocide, they use illustration, animation, and poetry to focus on people and communities in alternative and speculative worlds, underscoring the urgent need for new ways to live and thrive together.
Their residency project researches the concept of ecotopia through the aesthetic lens of Solarpunk and digital softness. It seeks to restore our collective capacity to imagine egalitarian and sustainable futures—ecotopias—through visual communication that unites rather than divides. By merging digital and physical drawing, the work explores how illustration and animation can cultivate empathy, care, and community.
