Tina Lenz

With focus on design anthropology, Tina Lenz loves to invite people into an artistic process based on culture sensitive approach. She is a design researcher, reflective writer, curator and conducts participatory action research using regenerative and anthropological methods with residents, students and stakeholders. Rituals, routines, emotions are collectively mapped and radical reimagined to create alternative futures.

Lenz holds a Master’s degree in Design (1999) at Sandberg Instituut Amsterdam and a Master’s degree in Art Education (2017) at the Amsterdam University of the Arts. In 2009, she participated in a pre-master in Anthropology at the Vrij Universiteit Amsterdam, followed by an Erasmus Exchange Master of Social and Cultural Anthropology at KU Leuven. She teaches Design Anthropology at Design Academy Eindhoven and gives guest lectures at art schools in the Netherlands and abroad.

In collaboration with Framer Framed, she created the exhibition From Amulet to Artefact (Amsterdam, 2019) in Werkplaats Molenwijk. This collaboration in Werkplaats Molenwijk continues into 2025 for which is working on a bread-based community kitchen project with Peik Suyling.

Her latest book Almanak voor Radicale Verbeelding – Almanac for Radical Imagination (2022) which is an exploration of social art practices is available for purchase at the Framer Framed bookshop.
