Meet-a-Maker is a 30-minute session to have a one-on-one talk with artists currently working at Mediamatic. We are lucky to be inspired by the many artists who work and stay with us for exhibitions, residencies and workshops. We welcome you to meet them and be inspired as well!
About the artist
Nora Nord is a Norwegian interdisciplinary artist based in London. Working across mediums as varied as photography, moving images, podcasting and journalism, her creative practice is an extension of her outlook on life: playful and exploratory.
Nord has graduated in 2019 from CSM with an MA in fashion photography. However, her work focuses less on an interest in clothes and aesthetics, and it is more about a fierce curiosity about stories and characters. Her approach as a photographer is also often linked to a passion for advocacy and social justice. Moreoever, Nord also exlores in her work media perception of neurodiversity and Queer ADHD, and her projects are often sed to build spaces and communities where people can share their lived experiences. Her personal work inlcude Wellcome Prize-shortlisted project Queer ADHD: a series of candid bedroom portraits of members of London’s queer community. In this intimate space, often in various states of disarray, the featured individuals are photographed and later interviewed about their journey with ADHD.
