Tiiu Meiner

Tiiu Meiner is a transdisciplinary curator and writer who employs storytelling to reflect and refract contemporary phenomena. Her work explores how we experience our surroundings and the influences shaping our interactions on this planet.

Embracing life's paradoxes and complexities, Tiiu uses critical thinking, empathy, and design philosophy to make sense of our world. Through exhibitions, discussions, poetry, essays, and film, she invites audiences to reconsider their perceptions and engage in meaningful dialogue about our collective reality.

She has collaborated with multiple institutions such as Nieuwe Instituut, Design Academy Eindhoven, Noorderlicht International Photo Festival, Garage Rotterdam and more. She has also published various texts on platforms such as Disegno Journal, Current Obsessions, Design Academy Eindhoven website, Dezeen, Running Dog and others, as well as copywriting for studios and design brands. She also writes poetry for designers and artists, notably for Sigve Knutson and Hansol Kim.

She is also co-host of the OOOReading Club, a group that collaborates/works with language as an experimental tool. Founded by Tiiu Meiner and Anna Bierler, the club gathers regularly to explore poetry through reading and writing. It welcomes everyone, regardless of their writing background, aiming to encourage writing as a social practice for working through and expressing thoughts.
