NIKA
HAM

Nika Ham (b. 1991) is a multi-discipline artist with a Masters Degree in painting, that she completed at the Academy of Fine Art and Design in Ljubljana, Slovenia. In 2013/14, she furthered her studies at the Winchester School of Art in the UK. During her studies, Ham participated in several solo and group exhibitions. 

In recent years, her artistic expression has shifted from painting to video, digital art and performance art. She uses her body to outline spaces in cultural institutions, puts herself in unconventional situations, and uses security camera footage for her video work to obtain views that are normally accessible only to “surveillers”. 

She has worked as the Art Director of the Graphic Department for the LET’S CEE Film Festival in Vienna, collaborated with the Laibach art group and as a freelance graphic designer and video editor for various institutions in Slovenia, Austria and Germany. From 2022 she is based in Berlin, where she continues to work across different fields of creative work.
