I feel like it is my responsibility (and also generally beneficial) to revive this tumblr. This is, and will be the home of all of my different projects coming up. I do so many different things: spoken word (x,x), acting (x), writing, singing, general activism etc. And I recognise all of that is really hard to navigate for someone who is interested. So I’m planning to make this sort of a central blog, that you should follow, if you like, and are interested in my work.
I’ll be reblogging PGG gifs (fuck I love those), posting links to events and finished projects, and just… musings of creating, if that’s okay. Also I was thinking of maybe doing monthly updates listing all the things I have going on, even if I don’t have the time to post every once in a while.
Vittusirkus, my other url (finnish for cunt circus, you can blame Jutta for that one) will keep excisting as my reblog, “sjw”, angry bullshit blog, that you are very welcome to follow. This one will be a more… I guess official, or atleast organised one.
TL;DR: Follow this blog if you’re interested in the content I, Laura Eklund Nhaga, produce.
Here is what you can look forward to in the near future:
LAUNCH OF A WEBSITE
I’m working on a website for similar reasons I’m reviving, and originally created this blog. It will also work as a sort of… CV, portfolio, or archive I guess. This will be done as soon as I figure square space out.
SHORT FILMS, LOTS OF SHORT FILMS
I recently took part in a Kino event in Helsinki, in which a bunch of film lovers create shortfilms with 0 budget. In that event I featured in 3 different films, that will be coming to the internet soon, I hope. These include and awesome Get Out-esque film about racism, a beautiful lesbian music video, and my own film, Revelations.
Coming soon, to an internet near you :)
I’m also attending a similar event in Berlin this August, and hopefully many more films will be created there.
MY SERIAL STORY
After overwhelming support (srsly, thank you), I have started to work on my serial story in earnest. I’m really excited about it, and really hope you guys will love it. I can tell you now, that it will be my take on fantasy genre, which in many ways is kind of returning to my roots. I also now have a title:
The Witch of Aergrad
So feel free to use that tag (or… um.. “TWoA,” I guess), if you want to discuss it (not that there is much to discuss), or are looking for updates. Updated considering this series will be posted on this blog, but also reblogged on vittusirkus most probably. The series will eventually have it’s own tumblr, but that’s not really relevant yet.
SECRET THINGY (not in the near future)
There is also a project I am a part of, that I don’t know if I can talk about yet. It is not my project at all, I just… am in it. But I do have a central role, I think y’all will like it. It might be years in the making though, but I will keep you updated, also on this blog.
YOU TUBE?
She said, tentatively, simultaneously remembering that she still doesn’t have a consistent schedule. And tbh, I might never. YouTube requires so much maintenance that I don’t think I will ever be very consistent with it. I would like to be like a Nathan Zed type of vlogger, but my content is not anything near his quality. Anyway, if you want to see more vlog-type casual things, feel free to subscribe to: Self-portraits
Just to calrify, all of my bigger video-projects, such as short films and poetry videos will be uploaded to my personal youtube. You can subscribe to that here.
If you would like to follow me on Social Media, (which, I would love if you did), here are the main ones:
You can like me on facebook

And personal Tumbrl: @vittusirkus
That’s all I can think to say now, except, I will be very thankful, if you follow this blog, and so humbled by your support. Thank you! I will keep making stuff, and hoping you enjoy it :)
