Catja Tonberg
catja.tonberg@gmail.comCatja Tonberg is a mixed media artist that works with the personal and the political intertwined, using a queer feminist lens. Tonberg’s research driven process often comes with a playfulness through projection, drawing, installation and performance. Currently finishing a masters in Fine Arts at HDK-Valand, she has a bachelor from Umeå Academy of Fine Arts and a journalist background.
Catja Tonberg’s project Växtvärk / Growing pains is an investigation into the feminization of plants through cultural and scientific naming practices. In this work Tonberg questions how queering can create a shift in this status quo, and explores how we can think differently about these naming conventions and the implications of feminizing the non-human. With a special focus on queer enjoyment, Tonberg will present parts of this research project at the master exhibition, playing with the layering roles of these names.
