(they/them, b. 1990. Lives and works in Helsinki.)
Mikki Noroila, a Finnish-Finnish Romani-Karelian visual artist, works with the mediums of moving image and performance. Noroila's recent artistic practice has focused on the politics of memory and marginalized histories from the perspective of family histories.

Noroila's video works and installations have been presented in group exhibitions in London at CAL 198 Gallery and in Helsinki at the Kuva/Tila. They have worked in performing arts working groups whose performances have been seen at venues and festivals such as the Finnish National Theatre, Teater Viirus, Baltic Circle, and Flow Festival.
