''The work of artist and educator Nien Boots, who hybridises the visual arts and community art methodologies with social justice, explores how the
archetypes of folk tales and fables constitute human retro-projections that can shape repressive or emancipatory ways of life. Convinced that every being possesses a creativity that is gangrened by social norms, Boots defends a naive plastic art that frees art from academic norms and deploys an imaginary that analyses, questions and subverts gender, race and class roles.''

Art is a great communication tool, so I like to use it as a motor to spread messages from all different communities. In my work human rights and mental health are central, both in the community art projects as in my personal work. I am always searching for ways to engage people in a dialogue while playing and exploring with different materials.

Currently I am working as a freelance for several organizations and institutions, as the Council of Sant Boi de Llobregat and for the network Generation Europe the Academy through the Association Càlam.
