Dina Nur Satti b. 1987

Dina Nur Satti is a New York based ceramic artist of Sudanese and Somali heritage.
Her pursuit of ceramics was born out of her studies in African art and precolonial African societies, and an interest in learning how ancient objects provide an insight into the migrations, beliefs, cosmologies, and communal bonds of a people. Through her sculptural vessels, she investigates ritual, transformation, and cultural memory with a focus on coil-built techniques, the most ancient method of clay making.

Satti’s works have been acquired by major museums including the Brooklyn Museum; the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art; the Saint Louis Art Museum; the Princeton University Art Museum; and the High Museum of Art. She has held residencies at the Petrie Museum of Egyptian and Sudanese Archaeology in Oxford and Saint Heron in New York.
