Tiny Island Studio
A small Malta-based studio for design, performance, archives and creative technology.
About
Tiny Island Studio is the design, media and technical practice of Jimmy Grima, an artist, designer and researcher from Malta working between visual culture, performance, film, archives, ecology and digital tools.
The studio began as a small island-based creative platform and has grown into a flexible workspace for projects that need careful visual thinking, research-led design and practical production support.
Its work moves between graphic design, websites, image-making, video, performance documentation, technical design, publications, creative coding and artistic research.
Practice
Tiny Island Studio supports the wider work of Jimmy Grima, rubberbodies and the School of Winds and Waves, while also standing as a place for independent experiments in design, storytelling and digital publishing.
Many projects begin from fieldwork: conversations with local communities, weather, memory, archival fragments, plants, coastlines, embodied knowledge and the changing cultural life of islands.
