Future past in Linnaniemi is a performance which responds to the development of Linnaniemi area and to the development of  the Museum of History and the Future that is to be opened in 2030. 

The performance consists of three pieces: Two performance events in the passenger tube of Silja Line terminal, the construction of a fictitious museum SoMe, and participation in the museum’s architecture competition.

Suvi Tuominen has followed the process of the museum’s development and participated in related joint development workshops for researchers. The different pieces of the performance questions the posture of thinking where the past is considered to transform into a future.

Suvi Tuominen is an artist and archaeologist. Her artistic thinking digs into layers of heritage studies, world relations and performance. In her works, Suvi attempts to construct complex understandings of reality aiming toward the subconscious. 

Suvi has graduated from the University of the Arts Helsinki Live Art and Performance Studies master’s program, from the North Karelia college Outokumpu dance education and from the University of Helsinki archaeology master’s program.
