PRIDE MONTH 2024

Queer aesthetics and renaissance motifs: Marimekko showcases LGBTQIA+ artists for Pride

"There is only one strength—love." This Pride Month, the words of Marimekko founder Armi Ratia will be vividly reimagined through art installations by Zander Schlacter and Emma Thomas. Marimekko has a long history of collaborating with contemporary artists. To celebrate Pride Month 2024, it felt only natural to continuae this tradition with visual artists from the LGBTQIA+ community. Our store windows in New York City and Helsinki will feature installations by local creators, serving as a powerful reminder to all visitors, friends and passersby of Armi’s enduring message.

Meet the artists

Zander Schlacter

An artist and designer based in Brooklyn, NYC, Zander Schlacter, works primarily within the medium of textiles. His work is characterized by eccentric surface designs and complex repeat pattern geometry, rendered in bold, adventurous color combinations. The ornamentation in Zander’s work draws from sources throughout histories of craft, design and queer aesthetics, which are remixed and synthesized into a playful and zany vibration for the present day. His artwork and textile prints have been applied to sculpture, home decor accessories, bedding, wallpaper, apparel, books and ceramic tiles.

Find Zander’s artwork for Pride Month 2024 at Marimekko New York, 97 Wooster St., NYC.

Emma Thomas

Emma Thomas is a Finnish-American visual artist. She graduated with a BA in Fine Arts in 2019 and has since been living and working in Helsinki. Her main focus is painting and drawing on paper, but during the pandemic, she began experimenting with textiles. The themes in her work are heavily influenced by Renaissance art, mythology and art history. Using classic themes and motifs, she portrays her own reality as a woman dealing with grief, anger, joy and sexuality in our modern age.

Emma’s artwork for Pride Month 2024 will be exhibited at Marimekko Aleksinkulma, Aleksanterinkatu 50, Helsinki.

Marimekko is an official partner of Helsinki Pride
