Dina Nur Satti is a Brooklyn-based ceramic artist and designer whose practice bridges ancestral memory, mysticism, and material form. Born to Sudanese and Somali parents and raised between France and Kenya, Satti’s transnational background informs a vision that reimagines the role of ritual objects within contemporary life. Drawing from studies in African art and pre-colonial societies, she explores how ceramics can act as vessels of transformation, mediating between personal growth, collective experience, and spiritual consciousness.

Her work is deeply influenced by mystical traditions and the esoteric world, examining the thresholds between the physical and metaphysical through hand-built forms and earth-toned surfaces that evoke the intimacy of craft and the endurance of cultural storytelling. Her travels across Africa and the SWANA region connect her to communities that continue ancient craft lineages, grounding her work in both ancestral practice and contemporary sensibility.

Satti’s sculptures are held in major private and public collections including Smithsonian National Museum of African Art in Washington, D.C.; the Brooklyn Museum in New York; and the Saint Louis Art Museum in Missouri. She has also recently completed a ceramics residency at Saint Heron, Solange Knowles’s interdisciplinary creative agency, and her work has been featured in leading international publications such as Vogue, Architectural Digest, Surface Magazine, Design Anthology, and Milk Decoration, among others.
