Dora Tiho (Dorota Cichocka) is a textile artist based in Amsterdam, working with plant-based dyes, textiles and embroidery. Her practice unfolds at the intersection of ecology, craft and collective making, guided by slow, process-led engagement with natural materials.
She grew up in Gliwice, an industrial city in southern Poland, where frequent visits to the surrounding mountains and countryside shaped her early connection to nature. Initially trained in biotechnology at Wrocław University of Science and Technology, she later pursued studies at the Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław, gradually shifting towards a material-based artistic practice.
Her work explores interdependence between human and more-than-human life, often referencing landscapes, organic forms and systems of care. Alongside her artistic practice, she facilitates workshops that invite participants to reconnect with natural processes through hands-on, collective making.
