Tyreis Holder is an Artist, Poet and Visual Storyteller 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 and identity,and the relationship with the mind, particularly with regards to navigating colonial spaces. 

She explores how textiles pose as poetic language, functioning as a healing device- specifically in the 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 the race, diffability*, community, class, sexuality and culture.
