Nadia Tamanini (b. 1987, Trento) is a multidisciplinary artist working across visual poetry, installation, and performance. Through her practice, words, images, and materials become tools for dialogue — between individuals and communities, adulthood and childhood.
She explores language as material, transforming words into images, sounds, and gestures in dialogue with space, where text takes on tangible, sculptural form shaped by her belief in relation, intersection, and biodiversity.

During her month-long residency at Lottozero (till the end of October), she will continue her research on visual poetry, experimenting with new textile techniques such as jacquard weaving, digital embroidery, and knitwear.

Her work, often site-specific, has been presented in Italy since 2011 in solo and group exhibitions, festivals, illustrated books and poetry publications, and especially within curatorial projects for museums, community spaces, and private collections.

For the magazine Arte Trentina, she is the author of original poems for the poetry column L’occhio attraverso (“The Eye Through”). Her work is part of the permanent collection of MUSEION – Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Bolzano Bozen.
