Tild Greene (UK, 1994) lives and works in Amsterdam. They completed a BA at Camberwell College of Art – University of the Arts London, in 2017, and participated in the residency program at De Ateliers, Amsterdam (2020–2022). Their practice explores what defines resilience, capability, and achievement, observing how these qualities are embodied in both objects and bodies. The potential for activation—the transition from latent form to lived experience—is a driving force in their work.
Greene brings together prefabricated objects, industrial methods, and organic materials. Sourcing organic elements that have been or could be consumed, Greene humanizes their sculptures, presenting them as a second skin—a threshold between the implied and the tangible body. This focus stems from ongoing research into consumption, demand, and commodification, physically expressed through constraints, tensions, and various states of permanence.
They have participated in group exhibitions at Punt WG, Amsterdam (NL, 2022); Willie Creative Space, Amsterdam (NL, 2022); De Vleeshal, Middelburg (NL, 2023); Loods6, Amsterdam (NL, 2023); Projectspace 38.40, Amsterdam (NL, 2023); Galeria Stereo, Warsaw (PL, 2023); Moduł Obsługi Spraw, Warsaw (PL, 2025); and Sharp Projects, Copenhagen (DK, 2022).
Recent solo exhibitions include Galeria Fonti, Naples (IT, 2024), and Galeria Stereo, Warsaw (PL, 2023). Greene has also exhibited at art fairs such as Liste Art Fair, Basel (CH, 2023) and Arte Fiera, Bologna (IT, 2025).
Findings of masonry structures and ceramic fragments dating back to the 4th–3rd century BC testify to the ancient origins of the village of Lustra. Rocca Cilento, now a hamlet of the municipality, played a central role in the history of the area: its castle, around which the village developed, was the seat of the Baronia del Cilento, a political and military center of the region. During the War of the Sicilian Vespers (1282–1302), between the Angevins and the Aragonese, the castle held a strategic role in the conflict over the control of Sicily and Southern Italy. Among the most significant historical and architectural sites are: the Convent of San Francesco, founded by San Bernardino da Siena in 1427, decorated with a cycle of frescoes depicting the life of the Saint; the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, documented since 1583; the Church of Santa Maria Vetere, now part of the cemetery complex, dating back to the 14th century and linked to a legend telling of the discovery of a statue of the Madonna inside a tree trunk. Particularly noteworthy is the bell tower of Santa Maria Vetere, a rare example of sacred architecture with Arab-Sicilian influences, dating between the late 12th and early 13th centuries.
Among the notable figures from the village is Francesco Giordano (1811–1898), patriot, engineer, and politician, who dedicated his life to the cause of Italy’s unity and freedom. A member of Parliament for four terms, he was a prominent figure in 19th-century Southern Italian liberalism, supporting the principles of liberty and progress.
