Nina Sandino (she/they) was born in Bilwi on the Nicaraguan Caribbean Coast, a region with diverse cultures, indigenous peoples, and ethnic communities. Nina is an architect and movement artivist. Their work is moved by the urgency of artistic expression as a political action, a close alliance between artwork and activism. Their practice focuses on the transmission of ancestral communal knowledge and Afro-indigenous queer futurism as a way to look into the future while looking back.
