Nina

Fraser

Nina Fraser (1984) b. St. Albans, UK, graduated in Textile Art from Winchester College of Arts (UK) in 2006, and completed a Masters level course in Commissioning & Curating Contemporary Public Art from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, in 2023. Nina’s practice is multidisciplinary, exploring human interaction and relationship to the environment, landscape and place through the utilisation of the found image. Her intention is to reflect upon a sense of place that shapes memory traces into physical form, exposing the fragility of our constructed reality.

Residencies include; "Plant thinking", Estação Viva, Canelas, Portugal (2023); "Mycelium", Roccamonfina, Italy, (2023); "BODY & PLACE", Owlpen Manor, Gloucestershire, UK, (2019); and MArt experimental learning program, Lisbon, Portugal (2015 - 17). Individual exhibitions include: "A Study of Psycho-cybernetics", Marvila Art District, Lisbon, Portugal (2023); Home", Espaço Cultural Mercês, Lisbon, Portugal (2021); "TAXIS DERMA", Museum of Natural Science and History, Lisbon, Portugal (2019); and "Sublime", Mute Gallery, Lisbon, Portugal (2019). Nina’s collages have been published in magazines and books worldwide. Nina’s work is represented in the public and private collections including: The Doug and Laurie Kanyer Art Collection, Yakima, WA, USA; Coleção Grupo IMPRESSA, Lisbon, Portugal; Casa das Artes de Tavira, Portugal; Coleção Figueiredo Ribeiro, Abrantes, Portugal; Retroavangarda Gallery Collection, Warsaw, Poland amongst others.

She co-creates projects and practical structures to improve our social and human experience, often working collaboratively within communities or non profit associations. She works as artistic coordinator of Art & Craft Refúgio - a project situated within Largo Residências, integrating migrants and refugees through regular meetings. An educator and mentor, Nina is also founder of Collage Working Club, an open group located in Lisbon that hosts workshops and talks on the artistic medium of collage and collage thinking whilst supporting artists develop their practice.
