Mimmi Ahonen

writer, dramaturge, translator

i am a writer and dramaturge based in helsinki,

born in höytiä and teenaged in tampere.

most of my work takes the form of text or performance, but medium follows the idea.

i am also one of three founding members and artistic leads in the tampere-based arts collective iva. in this group i specialise in site-specific local performances with a gen-z queer eye.

i also translate, mainly between finnish and english, mainly drama.
