BIO: Henna Räsänen (HX) is a Berlin-based non-binary and queer comic artist whose work explores social norms through offbeat, prickly humor. Their comics depict subcultures and queer communities in a rapidly eroding world. In HX’s stories dark and troubled noir waltzes with urban topographies, tracking currents and illustrating utopias.

Their comics are mostly published in English language. In 2024 they worked as the Curator of the Comic Invasion Berlin Festival’s International Focus Exhibition at neurotitan gallery. They teach comic workshops that center on norm critical practices, the character of (urban) spaces and the attempt on finding hope in the middle of the current climate catastrophe.

Henna Räsänen (HX) is Artist-in-Residence at Plantage Dok in September 2024.
