Tiiu Meiner is a curator, writer and educator based in Rotterdam, working across contemporary art, design and interdisciplinary practices. Her work questions what we consider knowledge, whose perspectives shape our understanding of the world, and what other ways of knowing might exist. Drawing on feminist and critical theory, she uses storytelling, material experimentation and collaborative exchange to examine established narratives and create space for overlooked perspectives. Her curatorial practice takes shape through exhibitions, writing, workshops and encounters that invite audiences to engage with complex ideas through both thought and experience.
Alongside her curatorial practice, she supports artists and cultural organisations through grant writing and creative development. She currently teaches at Gerrit Rietveld Academie, regularly collaborates with Design Academy Eindhoven and Sonic Acts, and has worked with institutions including Nieuwe Instituut, Garage Rotterdam and Noorderlicht International Photo Festival, among others. Her writing has been published by Current Obsessions, Disegno, DAMN°, Onomatopee and more.

What I’m currently reading:
The Assassin’s Quest by Robin Hobb
Already on book three of the series, I am excited that the main character has grown up as I found the first two books a bit juvenile at times. Nonetheless, George R. Martin deems Hobb a diamond amongs zircons in an oversaturated field of fantasy novels, so I am excited to see where I get taken this time. I find the books great for trustworthy character development, entertaining politics and just good fantasy fun.
