Tyreis Holder is an Artist, Poet, Visual Storyteller and Community arts practitioner from South London, with heritage reigning from Jamaican/St Vincent.

She works heavily in mediums pertaining to installation, textiles, performance, poetry, sculpture and sound. Her practice centres around explorations of self, identity politics, heritage, generational/ancestral healing, fashioning archives and the relationship with the mind, particularly within regards to navigating colonial spaces.

Primary grounds for exploration pertain to how textiles poses as poetic language, functioning as a healing device- specifically in regards to trauma experienced by black women.Bringing lived experiences into her practice, she aims to generate conversations around how social and intimate spaces are shaped through race, diffability*, community, heritage, class, sexuality and culture.

Poetry translates into garments, installations pose as poetry pages.
