Nina Fraser

Nina Fraser (1984) b. St. Albans, UK, graduated in Textile Art from Winchester College of Arts (UK) in 2006, and in 2023 completed a Masters level course in Commissioning & Curating Contemporary Public Art from the University of Gothenburg.
She creates artworks that reflect upon a sense of place to shape memory traces into physical form. Investigating ways of being, she explores ideas of transformation, connection and belonging through modes of thought, human and non-human systems and structures. Working with a multidisciplinary approach that roots itself within the materiality of paper, she harnesses ephemera from her location to produce collages, paintings, and sculptures.
Residencies include; “Plant thinking”, Estação Viva, Canelas, Portugal (2023); “Mycelium”, Roccamonfina, Italy (2023); LARGO Residências, Lisbon, Portugal (2022-23); and “BODY & PLACE”, Owlpen Manor, Gloucestershire, UK (2019). Individual/duo exhibitions include: “Deliquesce”, Art Room, Lisbon (2024); “Vegetal Matters” with Arta Raituma, Estação Viva, Aveiro (2024); “A Study in Psycho-Cybernetics”, Marvila Art District, Lisbon, Portugal (2023); “Home”, Espaço Cultural Mercês, Lisbon, Portugal (2021); “TAXIS DERMA”, Museum of Natural Science and History, Lisbon, Portugal (2019); and “Sublime”, Mute Gallery, Lisbon, Portugal (2019). Nina’s collages have been published in magazines and books, including “Collage Care: Transforming Emotions & Life Experiences” edited by Kanyer Art Collection, 2021. Nina’s work is represented in the public and private collections including: Coleção Figueiredo Ribeiro, Portugal; The Doug and Laurie Kanyer Art Collection, USA; Coleção Grupo IMPRESSA, Portugal; Casa das Artes de Tavira, Portugal; Retroavangarda Gallery Collection, Poland amongst others.
She was a founding co-director of The Art House community arts venue in Southampton, UK, from 2006 to 2014. She lives and works in Lisbon, Portugal, and is coordinator of Art & Craft Refúgio, a project supporting the integration of refugees and migrants through the sharing of creative skills and projects. In 2025 she is a participatory artist for The LABECO – Cooperative Laboratory for Artistic and Ecological Practices working between Lisbon and Marseille, with support from the European Union.
