Biography
Elin Tanding Sørensen is an artist (MA, Oslo National Academy of the Arts), animator (Volda University College), diversity activist, and independent researcher with a practice–based PhD in marine landscape architecture (MA and PhD, Norwegian University of Life Sciences). Her pioneering work blends eco–social art, architecture, and urban rewilding to explore human societies as integral expressions of living ecosystems. With a strong foundation in community engagement, her research centers on multispecies placemaking and co–learning. Elin has led several long–term, site–responsive art projects in Norway and Athens, and was recently a Fulbright Scholar at UC Santa Cruz. Through cross–disciplinary collaborations, she seeks to inspire collective care by merging artistic vision with social change.
