Tamara Vierbergen, born in Monrovia, Liberia (1987), is a jewelry artist from the Netherlands. In 2015, she received her Bachelor of Design from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. In her work, she explores ways to strengthen the connection with the environment from an intercultural perspective, with a focus on art, nature, and cultural heritage. In projects and workshops, she makes connections and stories visible in wearable objects, harnessing the power of jewelry to subtly express personal, cultural, and historical experiences.
Dear heart
Dear heart is a workshop that ties in with the exhibition "Walk on by" in Tent Rotterdam. In the workshop, students work with the concept of the 'heart'. They are invited to express their inner world by asking their heart a question and forming an answer through color, shape and materiality. This results in a growing collective work that connects all participants and forms a chain through the space.
Eilandgeluiden
The performance "Heembeden" created by Tamara Vierbergen and Ishtar Bakhtali was part of the event "Eilandgeluiden" on Brienenoordeiland Rotterdam. Through workshops, performances and concerts that enter into a co-creation with the landscape on the island, the audience could get to know Brienenoord during Eilandgeluiden.
