NINA BLUME


Nina Blume (she/her) is an Amsterdam-based spatial researcher, designer, and organizer who focuses on infrastructure spaces and resource streams in relation to land questions and environmental injustice. Her investigations connect spatial politics of resource extraction with embedded histories in an overlay of  fieldwork, sonic investigations, writing, and program organizing.

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].
