ADVICE/ EROTIC
Winter Open Studios
HIAP
2025/ Ongoing


A conceptual consultation service offering rapid, intuitive counsel across creative, personal and professional facets of life. Framed as a shortcut and challenge to the self-improvement industrial complex, each session was delivered as a one-on-one, 15-minute encounter with Ora H., an alter-ego of artist Kaitlyn D. Hamilton.

The consultations remained entirely private, emphasizing anonymity and the possibility of transformation through brevity. By collapsing the format of traditional coaching into a minimalist, almost oracular exchange, the project blurred the lines between performance, therapy, and art-as-service promoted through the offline distribution and circulation of printed business cards.

ENERGY CLEANSE FOR YOUR AURA
Human Design-informed Hynosis Series
Spectral Center
2025


A 30-minute guided hypnosis track tailored to each Human Design aura type—Generator, Manifestor, Projector, and Manifesting Generator. Created in collaboration with artist and hypnotherapist Julia E. Dyck–founder of Spectral Center–the work combines original sound, subconscious suggestion, and energetic mapping to support realignment, clarity, and ease.

Drawing on Human Design’s fusion of astrology, the I Ching, and somatic energetics, the experience offers a moment of pause and recalibration—not to fix the self, but to remember how you were always meant to move within the world.

SJÄLÖ HERBARIUM
Tehdas Teatteri, Jokistudio,
Turku, Finland
2025


The third instalment of the Själö Poiesis anthology by Lotta Petronella–a performance, lecture and choral adaption created for the stage. The final chapter in Lotta’s expanded body of work on the island of Seili in the Turku archipelago, Själö Herbarium focuses on the island’s history as a hospital, the dawn of the various institutions present today and how to read Seili as a part of Europe and the West’s institutional history during the 17th and 18th centuries. 

Själö Herbarium received script editing and dramaturgical support from Kaitlyn D. Hamilton who has been working closely with Petronella since 2023 and continues to contribute editorially to the forthcoming publication extending this body of work.

MICRODOSED
Limited Online Series
Instagram
2024-2025


Over the course of one year, Kaitlyn D. Hamilton (@emergingora) published a series of microdosed erotic essays and short fiction. Designed to provoke heightened libidinal affect and introspective response, the work explored the potency of brevity in narrative construction and self-reflective prose. The project unfolded across approximately 90 chapters, organized into a novel-esque structure of 16 thematic volumes.

Microdosed was conceptually informed by Sylvia Wynter’s redefinition of the erotic—not merely as sexual, but as a vital mode of knowing, feeling, and being. The work functioned as both literary experiment and intimate philosophical inquiry, using the erotic as a lens to explore subjectivity, desire, and narrative form.

PUNK HERBALISM
Herbalist Mutual Aid Stall
Translibrary 
Helsinki, Finland
2024-2025


Foraged and assembled by Kaitlyn D. Hamilton at TUO TUO’s rewilding gardens, this herbalist mutual aid stall offered a rotating selection of healing blends. Each mix—crafted to support rest, reduce inflammation, and strengthen immunity—reflected a commitment to self-healing and embodied care.

The offerings included both dried herb blends and tinctures, among them Femme Chem, a peony-based formula reputed to support hormonal balance by boosting estrogen and reducing testosterone. Available on a sliding scale, the stall operated at Translibrary in Helsinki from September 2024 to May 2025 as a gesture of mutual aid, solidarity, and visionary economic ethics within trans and queer community spaces.





ESOTERIC YELLOW PAGES 
Online Listings Platform
tuotuoarts.com/esotericyellowpages
2023


Created by Kaitlyn D. Hamilton for TUO TUO, Esoteric Yellow Pages (EYP) is an online listings platform and shared resource for artists–mystical practitioners to offer their services freely and accessibly. Functioning as a digital commons, EYP supports spiritual, creative, and divinatory practices as tools of sovereignty—particularly in response to the co-option of wellness and esotericism by right-wing and spiritual-fascist movements.

Curated with care by Hamilton, all listed practitioners work from explicitly decolonial, antiracist, and queer ecofeminist frameworks. EYP is both a directory and a quiet act of resistance—building networks of care, integrity, and collective imagination.





MONEY TALK
Madhouse Helsinki & HIAP
Helsinki, Finland
January, April 2025

Money Talk is an initiative by Kaitlyn D. Hamilton to address the often sensitive topic of money within the artistic community. It is not intended to be a place for financial advice or dogma but rather an opportunity for artists to explore their perceptions and experiences with money in an anonymous environment. The event encourages participants to identify commonalities and overlaps in their experiences with money, fostering a sense of shared understanding and potential for mutual support. 





FERAL
Digital Zine
https://tuotuoarts.com/feral-series
2023

To nourish the feral is to embrace the unkempt, surly, sour, fervid, wolfish, rabid, ugly, wicked and raw. To travel to the deepest of underworlds only to emerge with fathomless fervor –
to recrudesce from the depths eternal. The feral series reveres the poet in the same manner as the immaterial, the invisible, the torrid. Here, poetry is the ultimate ecological art form.

Publication concept, work-selection and graphic design by Kaitlyn D. Hamilton for TUO TUO.

SPECULATIVE ECONOMIES PT II
Erotics of Economy: A LARP Wealth Consulting Agency
au JUS
Brussels, Belgium

Erotics of Economy–a collaboration between Vishnu Vardhani Rajan an Kaitlyn D. Hamilton–is a consultation process designed to corrupt the default money scripts an indiviual has running through their reality’s narrative infrastructures. Harvested storylines are treated as data points transversing a specrum – from supportive, ferromagnetic or supple to inhibitive, uncooperative and corruptable.
