Nicola Green.
Nicola Green is an artist and social historian.
An expert on identity, race, allyship, and inclusion, Nicola has built an international reputation for ambitious projects that challenge perceptions of power and its relationship with the visual image.

Inspired by her mixed-heritage family, she documents global moments of significance and has collaborated with leaders including Pope Francis, President Obama, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Dalai Lama.
Committed to social impact, Nicola co-founded the Diaspora Pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennale and launched the Khadija Saye Arts Programme to improve representation of underrepresented communities in the creative industries. Beyond the arts, as co-founder of the Sophia Point Rainforest Research Centre, she champions the preservation of the Guiana Shield rainforest. Currently a Principal Artist for The World Reimagined, Nicola continues to connect climate and racial justice through art. She also mentors young artists and serves as Patron of Women in Art.
