In MutualArt’s artist press archive, Tina Bara is featured in Interference, a piece from the Revista Arta in 2020.
As a student, she was in touch with political opposition groups, including Frauen für den Frieden (Women for Peace).
However, this was becoming a period of increasing political instability for the German Democratic Republic and she discontinued the course in 1989 without, at this stage, receiving a qualification.
[4] Bara's self taught method of photography in which she films the female body in close range conveys a sense of societal discomfort.
Bara's critical and political consciousness was shaped by her participation in Frauen fur den Frieden, and explored through her autobiographical photography, in which her understanding of self and the world was mirrored.
