Erika Eva & Saaramaria is
RISA
Bringing laughter through the cracks.
What if we are not meant to save the world
But to learn to stay with it.
We are Erika Eva and Saaramaria Kuittinen
Two Futures Artists.
We see the world collapsing.
We are not here to fix it,
but to learn how to listen as it reweaves itself.
Risa means broken in Finnish, laughter in Spanish.
That’s our orientation:
tending what’s cracked, laughing with what’s possible.
We work where systems fail and new stories sprout—
in the liminal terrain within education, coaching, and art.
Erika Eva designs trainings, workshops, and learning architectures for collective transformation.
Saaramaria Kuittinen offers Aletheia Coaching—spaces of courageous presence and unlearning.
Together, Risa Production cultivates future artistry: the capacity to create, sense, and care in times of collapse.
We believe that...
A human is a living system where change is emergent.
Change is inevitable for continuity.
Collapse is not the final end, but a way to compost and bring about new life.
Artistry is to be with the unknown without need to control.
We serve not as saviors, but as interconnected ecosystems within ecosystems.
Our Ethos
Education designer, trainer, consultant
Erika Eva Kuittinen is an educator, and education designer working in the times between worlds. She is exploring future education through infinite play and relational learning in the time of AI. Currently she co-teaches and co-designs a high school programme focusing on future skills: emotional, relational, and creative capacities for navigating uncertainty. As an artist, teacher, mother, and cohabitant of this planet, she is learning to sail in the storm and breathe through the unknown, inviting others to do the same.
Coach, playwright, poet
Saaramaria Kuittinen is a writer, foster mother, and coach exploring what it means to stay human in heavy times. She works at the intersection of emotional wisdom, poetic presence, and embodied awareness, creating small sanctuaries of meeting in the midst of disconnection. Through her coaching practice, she invites people to attune to the world not as a problem to solve, but as a living relationship to be felt and received. Trained in Aletheia Coaching and inspired by circling, authentic relating, and the playfulness of theatre, she supports others in remembering their capacity for tenderness, wonder, and truth.
