Dede Bandaid is a multidisciplinary urban artist, based in New York and Tel Aviv. He utilizes various mediums to communicate within the public arena.

Nitzan Mintz is a visual poet based in New York and Tel Aviv. She began working a decade ago in the streets of Tel Aviv, where she would create visual poetry for specific locations in the city.

Nowadays the couple’s works can be viewed at galleries, exhibition spaces, various art events and in the streets of art capitals around the world, such as New York, Miami, Montreal, London, Paris, Prague, Vienna, Berlin, Tel Aviv and more.

The public sphere has a central role in Both Dede’s and Nitzan's artistic process, as it is their main source of inspiration. As Tel Aviv natives, their personal growth and change has been echoed by the dramatic changes Tel Aviv has undergone in recent years.  

As partners in life and practice, they find inspiration in the vibrant pulse and constant flux of urban environments. Their artworks—installations, site-specific projects, assemblage, collage, painting, and visual poetry—are inspired by themes of post-trauma, childhood, and decay. 

People occupying public spaces are often the audience they strive to reach and empower - individuals or communities, and they see their practice as a channel of communication.

By activating neglected areas they hope to convey complex messages and evoke multi-dimensional interactions with otherwise overlooked places. Nitzan’s text provides a visual dimension to language, deepening perception of her poems. Dede provides poignant messages related to the specific history of a site or format of an artwork. He often chooses to confront social questions, addressing inequities and injustices. By combining distinct approaches, they present a rich tapestry of observations and reflections. Ultimately, their goal is to spark dialogue and foster connections through their shared exploration of the human experience within the urban landscape.
