community / social practice

Tisna is a multi disciplinary artist, and art educator. She has a Bachelor Degree of Fine Art in Education (Amsterdam), a BA in Printmaking-Royal Academy of Art (The Hague) and a MA in Scenography-Central St Martins (London). While her practice is grounded in printmaking, she revels in breaking down the limitations of materials and reinventing traditional handicrafts, a powerful, personal, political and poetic tool. Interested in people engaged in a project of self-transformation and motivated by the function of art education in society, Tisna uses her voice in ceramics, textiles, installation, painting and printmaking as well as organizing, curating and collaborating with others. All are interconnected and attempt to give voice to the underrepresented and to dream a better world, free of social injustices and intolerance.

All are interconnected and attempt to give voice to the underrepresented, finding inclusive ways to talk about art that is relevant and builds empathy, to close social, racial and gender gaps.
