Tmnit Ghide is Eritrean, born and raised in Southern Germany. As a DJ, music curator and cultural worker, she operates at the intersection of art, music and community.

She is the founder of multiple platforms and initiatives, among them Edition Dimtsi (Springstoff), her radio show DiaspoRa.dio on res.radio, the cultural event series bun&beats, which highlights Eritrean culture, and Salon Dimtsi, a platform centered on collective listening.

Her artistic practice engages with socio-political questions, approaching sound as an archive through which collective and individual experiences are made audible. In 2025, she was awarded the Kültüregemma Fellowship in Vienna, within the framework of which she is developing the Black Music Archive (Vienna). Her work engages with questions of collective memory and cultural heritage, exploring how Black musical histories are preserved, contextualized and made visible. During her residency at Villa Kamogawa in Kyoto (January–April 2026), she explored listening practices across cultural contexts.
