Kutikuti was established in Helsinki in 2005. Over the years Kutikuti has grown from an artistic collective into an association, but it has always been a pioneer of contemporary Finnish comics. Kutikuti’s aim is to promote the status of new and high quality Finnish comics in Finland and abroad. The association publishes new comics in its quarterly comic tabloid Kuti and in its own series of publications. It also holds exhibitions and participates in a variety of relevant events. The association has a studio and a screen printing press in Helsinki. There are currently 39 comic artists as members in the association. Kutikuti is one of the internationally best-known phenomena in the Finnish comic scene.
Kutikuti’s 10th anniversary exhibition has been supported by Grafia ry, the Finnish Cultural Foundation’s Uusimaa Regional Fund, the Finnish Comics Society and the Arts Promotion Center Finland.
