Tina Tona is a photo-collage artist who assembles found ephemera and cut up magazines into expressive, colourful compositions. Her work explores diasporic Black expression, pop culture, and her dual heritage through layered imagery and playful juxtaposition. She characterizes her approach as "organised noise." At Nicer Tuesdays in New York City last September, she introduced these works and highlighted significant projects. Early projects included doing the "bare maximum" at independent magazines as a young teenager. She also produces zines intended to encourage "the child inside," emphasizing creative play, nostalgia, and intergenerational identity.
