Artist. Healer. Alchemist. I make work that remembers, transforms, and awakens.

The Alchemist’s Path
I’m Pia Tuulia Cäbble an artist, storyteller, and cultural alchemist of African and Scandinavian descent.
My work is a tapestry of painting, sculpture, performance, and ritual that honors ancestral memory, queerness, and the transformative power of myth.
At the heart of my practice is Conversations with the Dead a living archive exploring belonging, grief, and spiritual legacy across the Afrodiaspora. Braided hair weaves through my work as a sacred motif, binding generations, cosmologies, and the visible with the unseen.
Through vibrant color, layered texture, and symbolic storytelling, I create portals into other worlds, spaces of healing, wonder, and becoming.
Dance as Liberation
Dance as a Liberation extends into live performance as a solo and collaborative practice. I have been commissioned to perform in public, site-based contexts throughout Brooklyn, working as a solo performer, choreographer, and ensemble member. These performances translate embodied research into movement narratives that respond to place, audience, and collective energy. Whether staged or improvised, the work treats dance as a communal offering—inviting viewers into an accessible, emotionally resonant experience rooted in presence, participation, and storytelling through the body. Performance becomes both a ritual and a shared moment, where movement functions as a bridge between individual experience and collective witnessing.
Performance & Choreography
Rooted in a decades-long career as a performer and choreographer, my work spans live stages, television, and site-specific performance across five continents. I have toured internationally with IFE throughout Latin America, presented solo performances across New York City—including House of YES in Brooklyn—and appeared in television productions in Finland, other parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Across cultures and formats, my practice centers the body as a vessel for story, ritual, and collective experience.
World of
Tarot
World of Tarot began as an interdisciplinary live work conceived and produced for Artcrawl (2023), uniting artists and audiences from East New York and Ridgewood, Queens. I developed the original concept, designed and constructed a series of costumes, and led a collaborative team of set builders and painters to create a fully immersive environment. Blending theatrical staging, costume presentation, and dance-based performance, the project was extensively documented through photography and video. These materials later evolved into printed cards and archival works, reflecting an early commitment to collaboration, world-building, and carrying a vision from concept through live embodiment and lasting form.
Fashion show
Filmed during my 2024 Brooklyn fashion showcase, this work captures the energy, movement, and collaborative spirit surrounding the presentation of my designs. Each garment was developed over 12–16 months in my Brooklyn studio through sustained experimentation with form, material, and narrative. The accompanying images trace that process—revealing the slow transformation from raw materials to finished wearable artworks, and highlighting fashion as performance, ritual, and storytelling in motion..
