Tianna Strickland is a multidisciplinary artist working across poetry, film, photography, sound, and performance. Their practice centers emotional honesty, care, and presence, exploring how vulnerability, memory, and healing can be translated into visual and sonic form. Moving between stillness and movement, their work invites reflection on both inner landscapes and shared human experience.
Rooted in contemplative practice and community care, Tianna’s creative process is shaped by close observation, ritual, and collaboration. Alongside their artistic work, they have spent years supporting harm reduction and awareness initiatives within nightlife and cultural spaces, an experience that deeply informs their approach to artmaking. Attention, empathy, and listening are treated not only as values, but as creative tools.
Tianna’s work often weaves together natural and urban environments, the body in motion, and subtle elements of the surreal, creating spaces that feel familiar yet slightly transformed. Drawing from Afro-diasporic histories and speculative imagination, their practice considers art as a site for connection, healing, and expanded ways of seeing. Through layered mediums and collective processes, Tianna seeks to create work that holds space for feeling, reflection, and renewed understanding of ourselves and one another.
