Nina Gerada is a Maltese artist who works with clay, landscape, and the body to explore embodiment. Her processes are intuitive and durational. She makes associations between multitudes of references: figurative, prehistoric, geological, make-shift. In Gerada’s work the  ageing, changing body is often likened to weathering landscapes. Geological time and mutable scales offer new perspectives – rendering lifetimes as precious and small. Themes of post-colonialism, invisible labor and societal moulds are explored. She searches for belonging in place and across generations.

Born in Malta in 1983, she moved to London where she studied art, design and architecture. Her career spans film production design, urban design, architecture and sculpture. After 22 years abroad, she returned to Malta, and this homecoming has become a central focus in her work.

Gerada has been selected to participate in the Malta Art Biennale (2026). She was selected for Variations in Emergence the artist residency at the Malta Society of Arts (2025). Recent exhibitions include Clay / Craft / Concept at the Malta Society of Arts (2024), The Malta Art Biennale (2024) and Debut: Inaugural Open at &Gallery in Edinburgh (2024). She was selected to exhibit at The British Ceramics Biennial (2023) and at Collect in Somerset House, London (2022 and 2023). Other exhibitions of note include: London Craft Week (2021), The Daphne Festival, London (2022) and Cartography of Care, Edinburgh (2022). Gerada’s work has been featured in Ceramics Monthly and Wired Magazine. In 2014 she received the award for Best Production Design at the Bridges International Film Festival for her work on the feature film Simshar.
