NINA BLUME
Nina Blume (she/her) is an Amsterdam-based spatial researcher, designer, and curator. Her practice and discourse center on spatially rooted traces of historical and contemporary violence within infrastructural spaces and sites of resource extraction. Through sonic and visual investigations, her works target patterns of environmental injustice and the continuation of land grabbing under green narratives–including fieldwork and program organizing. She is a current fellow of
“Organismo: Art in Applied Critical Ecologies” in the case study of Non-Archives at TBA21.
Nina is a graduate from MA Studio for Immediate Spaces at the Sandberg Instituut [2022-2024]. Prior education include a bachelor's degree in Visual Communication with honors [University of Applied Science, Potsdam, 2016–21], an exchange semester at Zurich University of Arts [BA Trends & Identity, 2018] and additional non-institutional curricula.
She
initiates, hosts, and curates platforms, group shows, lecture programs, and workshops as part of ORGA' [2020-2023] and previously Non-Depleted [2020-2023]. Between 2019–2022 she was an artist member of the project space Gr_und and was working as an editorial assistant at Making Futures, a practice-based research project of the architecture studio Raumlabor [2020-2022].
