Dina Nur Satti

Her pursuit of ceramics was born out of her studies in African art and precolonial African societies, and an interest in learning how ritual objects support the transitions through different states of consciousness in communal experiences.

Her practice is rooted in studying the common threads that run through mystical traditions and the unseen esoteric world with which these traditions interact. She often travels throughout Africa and the SWANA region to meet with communities upholding ancient methods of craft, and to research the use of objects in ceremonial traditions.

Dina connected to clay not only because of a passion for the medium. Ceramics is a vessel, a container through which she explores ideas of personal purpose and growth, as well as our collective transitions, cultural storytelling, and communal rituals.
