Nicola Brandt

Nicola Brandt (born April 5, 1983, in Windhoek, Namibia) is a Namibian-German artist working at the intersection between memory studies, landscape, ecology, and feminist and queer theory. Much of her work uses the metaphor of place and landscape and centres around themes of power, desire, and destruction.

Brandt's artistic production takes the form of photographs and drawings, multi-channel videos, and installations. Brandt became known as a representative of a young generation of Namibian artists, especially through her new, critical approach to landscape and her decolonial examination of German colonial history and her memorial work. She advocates for intersectional solidarity and queer ecologies and has mentored several younger artists and students in related fields. Provided by Wikipedia
