Art Exhibition - I am Nina

A powerful retrospective exploring Nina Angelo's creative journey through artworks, personal archives and stories of resilience, loss and renewal — an intimate portrait shaped by memory, survival and transformation.

Nina Angelo OAM is an artist, storyteller, and gatherer of stories whose work has flowed across communities, cultures, and generations for more than fifty years. Born in Athens, Greece, to parents who survived the Holocaust, and arriving in Australia as a child, her life and art are deeply woven with themes of memory, resilience, belonging, and transformation.

From the studios of the National Art School to remote communities, Pacific islands, festivals, and healing spaces, Nina has spent her life creating beauty from lived experience — using textiles, colour, story, and human connection as instruments of healing and celebration.

Her work has been honoured with the Order of Australia Medal (OAM) and the Edna Ryan Feminist Award, recognising her lifelong commitment to empowering communities and uplifting women's voices through the arts.
