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.
