Hana Nina Hussein

Hana Nina Hussein is a multidisciplinary artist and actress based in Amsterdam. With a background in spatial design, writing, illustration, ceramics, and glass, she combines 2D and 3D mediums to create contemporary narrations. She graduated as a spatial designer and completed an internship at Studio Floris Wubben, where she focused on functional and sculptural ceramic products and furniture.

As an actress she took the lead in a Dutch television series (NTR) and continues to explore the impact of film both behind and in front of the camera. She is currently working as an assistant casting director at Saida Casting.

Navigating through the world with Dutch, Somali, and Yemeni influences, Hana’s interpretation of identity in familial dynamics, native linguistics, and sociology is constantly being questioned throughout her artistic practices.

Hana Nina Hussein

is a place to discover Amsterdam’s dynamic and forward-thinking art scene.

#26: Script 1: Whispers (Tell The Waters What The Clay Kept Secret II), by Ola Hassanain

Artist and architect Ola Hassanain intertwines family history with the materiality and temporality of water and clay. For this manifestation, Hassanain shares her ongoing visual research into the spatial implications of catastrophes. In this provocation the artist zooms in on an intimate ‘site of catastrophe’: her grandmother’s house.
