Nadine Stijns

Nadine Stijns is a Dutch visual artist who works on long-term projects fuelled by her curiosity for socio-economic and/or political situations. Topics such as labor migration in a global economic system, Diaspora communities and national identity in post- colonial regions fascinate her and inform her projects. In the past years her work has reached a larger audience through exhibitions at The Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Kunsthal Rotterdam, The Empty Quarter Gallery in Dubai, Format Photography Festival in Derby, CONTACT Photo Festival Toronto, lectures and publications in (inter)national media such as British Journal of Photography, Metropolis M, GIDA Magazine, and various newspapers.

In 2016, together with Amal Alhaag she initiated the project The Anarchist Citizenship, a collaboration with Somali artists, writers, thinkers, youth and women.
