Nele Tiidelepp

Nele Tiidelepp (b. 1998, Estonia) is currently pursuing a graduate degree from Justus-Liebig Universität, Germany in choreography and performance. She holds a bachelor’s degree in sculpture from the Estonian Academy of Arts.

Invested in social relations between individuals and communities, her work often engages multiple participants and prompts spontaneous reactions to materials and events.

She has exhibited in Estonia, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal, Finland, Lithuania and the United States. For her work, she has been awarded the Wiiralt Prize (2023), Young Tartu (2021), EAA Young Artist Prize (2020), SIIL prize (2019), and Millennium Prize (2019).
