Freja Nielsen

Freja Kræmmer Nielsen is a Danish designer, artistic researcher and soil activist. Her work investigates the intersection of humans and ecosystems, art and science, and critical thinking and making. Her publication ‘Novel Reasonings for Wild Desires’ investigates the human view on plants within gardening and maintenance practices, and unpacks how capitalistic desires have created a notion of the ‘undesirable’ plant. Through hands-on explorations, Freja’s work embraces the marginal spaces and undervalued entities, and encourages reflection on the relations between the human and more-than-human. Freja holds a master’s degree in Social Design from Design Academy Eindhoven, and is based in Eindhoven, the Netherlands.
