At a glance

  • Critically acclaimed artist and social historian
  • Co-founded Diaspora Pavilion at Venice Biennale
  • Founded Khadija Saye Arts programme
Nicola Green is a critically acclaimed artist and social historian, specialising in identity, race, allyship, and inclusion. She has built an international reputation for her projects that challenge perceptions of power and its relationship with visual imagery, focusing on themes of inclusion, leadership, race, and gender. Nicola believes in the power of visual images to convey significant human stories and often assumes the role of a 'witness' to important global events. Inspired by her mixed-heritage children and multi-faith family, she aims to create and preserve socio-cultural heritage for future generations. She has worked with iconic figures such as Pope Francis, President Obama, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Dalai Lama. Nicola is committed to social impact and equality in the art world and beyond. She co-founded and directed the Diaspora Pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennale, which showcased 22 artists from diverse backgrounds. She founded the Khadija Saye Arts programme at IntoUniversity to address BAME representation in the creative industries. As co-founder of the Sophia Point Rainforest Research Centre, she has advocated for preserving and exploring the Guiana Shield, the largest remaining pristine rainforest. Nicola is a Principal Artist for The World Reimagined, a project creating large-scale public artwork exploring climate and racial justice. She has mentored many young artists and is the Patron of Women in Art. Nicola delivers insightful talks both online and in person, offering a unique perspective through the lens of her artworks.

Why Allyship is a Verb and Not a Noun
Allyship is fast becoming the key to unlocking the power of diversity. Nicola Green considers, through her own personal and professional experience, why helping to build equality and advance the culture of inclusion is so challenging. Attendees will gain understanding of why it’s a lifelong process for us as individuals and as a community but also at the progress we’ve made and how we can build on each step every day.
Exploring Pillars of Whiteness
The effects of discrimination overlap and intersect in the experience of marginalised groups. Nicola Green explores how the power of the visual image communicates important human stories and truths that can help change our perceptions of identity and belonging. Participants will learn how to leverage visual narratives to promote understanding and challenge discrimination.
How Visual Images Shape Our Understanding of Each Other
Nicola Green explores how the images we see form the pictures in our minds. She has built a reputation as an arts innovator, committed to change and mentoring young people to help them realise their potential and take steps towards creative industry careers, especially where they struggle to see themselves reflected. In her inspiring talk, she describes how her years of mentoring BAME and disadvantaged young people in her studio and beyond, has informed her own understanding of diversity and inclusion.
