HX – Henna Räsänen

Henna Räsänen aka HX is a Finnish, Berlin-based non-binary and queer comic artist whose work explores social norms and the looming climate catastrophe through offbeat, prickly humor. Their comics depict subcultures and queer communities in a rapidly eroding world, while addressing contemporary political climates with both tactics and optimism. In their ink drawings dark and troubled waltzes with hope, while urban topographies sink into forestation as punk rock blasts through northern landscapes.

HX has published numerous art zines, prints and books and exhibited in spaces like Athens Museum of Queer Arts, Fumetto Festival and Helsinki Comic Festival. They’ve been a member of multiple collectives and art groups such as Altes Finanzamt (2016-2020) and Comic Invasion Berlin Festival (2020-2024) in many different curatorial roles, most notably as the CIB Curator of the International Focus point in 2024.
