Nikki Lindt
Nikki Lindt is a painter whose interdisciplinary practice connects visual art with environmental research, sound, and storytelling to illuminate the hidden forces shaping our rapidly changing ecosystems. Through years of collaboration with scientists, Indigenous communities, and institutions from the Arctic to New York City, she has pioneered a unique approach to recording and translating subterranean and underwater acoustics into public installations and visual forms. Her paintings, guided by the rhythms and patterns of thawing permafrost, underground streams, and even the interiors of trees offer new ways of sensing and relating to the land. Lindt’s work has been exhibited at institutions such as COP29, the United Nations in Rome, the Hudson River Museum, Museum of the White Mountains and the Museum of the North in Alaska, with forthcoming solo and group exhibitions across Europe. She has been featured in The Financial Times, NPR’s Here and Now, CBS Sunday Morning, and CUNY TV’s Sustainability Matters.
