Lizette Nin
Artist from Spain
Lizette Nin (b. 1984, Dominican Republic) is a prominent creative artist based in Barcelona. Her work revolves around autobiographical aspects, her Afro-descendant roots. With her art, she intends to give visibility to groups and social struggles forgotten by the mainstream.
She works across different mediums, including video, food, drawing, and printing, to create works that invite viewers to connect with and reflect upon diverse experiences. Her current work centres on doing as a mean of production, with actions such as cooking or braiding hair becoming the work itself. Through these actions, she aim to create spaces for exploration and investigation beyond traditional research methods
Nin is particularly interested in the experiences of former colonies and the ways in which memory can be erased, and the importance of preserving the histories and experiences of the black diaspora. She aims to create spaces for reflection, conversation, and understanding, and to honour the legacies of those who came before us while working toward a more equitable future.

It is a compilation of drawings conceived, After an investigation of fisherwomen in Senegal, and these drawings are a mix of elements that unite Senegal and the Caribbean through the sea currents. |With elements like the mangrove and shellfish.
It is a work that talks about the ecosystems of this tree and how they are a source of sustenance for both humans and all wildlife. The color red also symbolizes the author's feminist side, by making this big piece unapologetically red, but also on a support that reflects a dream-like state of the thoughts.
