Metropolitan Culture Corner: Nina Piippanen

This month on the Metropolitan Culture Corner, we interview certified make-up artist and photographer Nina Piippanen. Born in Finland and a resident of Barcelona, her experience over the past twenty years has brought her into contact with people from all walks of life, from celebrities to corporate clients. Nina organizes courses and training events for international beauty professionals, and specializes in “empowering photography,” which is designed to empower people through makeup and special effects techniques combined with image art. She has collaborated with GrisArt photography school in Barcelona and is currently preparing a book. 

Last month we interviewed author, translator, lecturer and researcher, Dr. Carme Font Paz. Her research explores the marginalization of women’s thought in the early modern period (1500-1770), particularly with regards to the habitually neglected intellectual contributions of female writers during that period of time. In 2018, she was awarded a prestigious Starting Grant from the European Research Council for Project WINK which stands for “Women’s Invisible Ink: Trans-Genre Writing and the Gendering of Intellectual Value in Early Modernity.”
