Juuso Paaso

Juuso Paaso is a cultural worker active as a writer, musician and producer within music, poetry, journalism and archival work. His main interest is to find meaning, weight and context for marginalized events and activities, whether historical or contemporary. The highly acclaimed Oranssi archive of Finnish zines was founded on his initiative. He has also written a MA thesis about the zine culture in Finland. Auringonpimennys is Paaso’s first foray into film making, based on a long friendship with Azar Saiyar and years of research into themes from his family history. Currently he is planning a book about the Finnish experimental underground music of the 2000s.
