Nina Rojc was born in Slovenia but considers herself a citizen of the world. She is interested and inspired by anything unusual, especially human relationships and behaviour, our relationship to nature and how to decolonize, change and revolutionize systems of oppression and our learned ways of seeing. Her work might appear simple at first, but she intentionally strips it of all unnecessary layers, to bring audience closer to the essence of life, to all that lies beneath the surface and might not be necessarily visible, obvious. She aims to draw attention to the diversity and complexity of this world, to allow us to recognize and accept all that do not conform to established norms and to see many ways in which these participants enrich our co-existence.
