Lise Linnert is a visual artist and human rights activist. A continuous thread throughout her artistic practice is her interest in relationships and a strong belief in the power of the hands. Through various media, she explores art as an entryway to dialogue and change. Linnert works along two parallel paths: one that is political and social, involving interdisciplinary collaboration and collective participation, and another that is personal, rooted in her own experiences. Her projects can span several years or have no end date. Whether working collectively or independently, the process is always essential to her work. Linnert has exhibited extensively nationally and internationally.
