Working with the body, landscape, fossils and bones, Nina Gerada explores embodiment. 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, Gerada moved to London in 2002 where she studied Art, Design and Architecture. Her career has spanned different fields and she has worked at a multitude of scales; including Production Design for film, Urban Design, Architecture and Map Making, before focusing on sculpture. Gerada has recently moved back to Malta after 22 years overseas, she is currently artist in residence at the Malta Society of Arts where she is exploring embodiment; walking the perimeter of the islands, inserting her body into the landscape and learning traditional crafts.

Recent exhibitions include ‘Clay / Craft / Concept’ at the Malta Society of Arts (2024), The Malta Art Biennale (2024) ‘Debut: Inaugural Open’ at &Gallery in Edinburgh (2024), ‘So I Cannot Loose My Way’ at The Middle Room Gallery in Los Angeles (2024). She was selected to exhibit at the British Ceramics Biennial (2023) and at ‘Collect’ in Somerset House, London (in 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 film ‘Simshar’.
