Waterfall Tongue
USF Visningsrommet, March 2025

Waterfall Tongue was a collaboration between gentian rhosa and Tinja Ruusuvuori. The exhibition explored themes of grief, rage and voiceless through screaming into waterfalls.

The exhibition included a public screaming workshop with hardcore vocalist Oda Braanaas, where we learned to care for our throats in a long-term grief and to scream together in a sustainable way.
