MONUMENTS SUMMER 2025: Live Soundtrack Performance by Jonna Karanka (Kuupuu)

Kuupuu presents a new live score around the theme of Monuments in Helsinki, pairing archival film footage with lullaby drones and textured soundscapes. This atmospheric performance combines moving image, voice, text, and electronic music, inviting audiences to reimagine the stories embedded in place.

Jonna Karanka is a Finnish multidisciplinary artist and musician renowned for her experimental soundscapes and tactile visual art. Working under the moniker Kuupuu, she crafts lo-fi, dreamlike music that blends improvisation, loops and electroacoustic textures. At the moment she’s working on a hypnotic “Draamakuu” duo debut album with Draama-Helmi and playing with her mini-rock trio Olimpia Splendid whenever possible.

MONUMENTS is a programme of events curated by the Social Choreography Lab Helsinki for Pixelache Festival 2025. The programme invites audiences to reflect on the idea of monuments in public space across Helsinki: not as static symbols of power or permanence, but as living, contested spaces where memory, identity, and imagination intersect. What does it mean to build, dismantle, or reimagine a monument today?
