Abstract: The twin group $T{W}_n$ on $n$ strands is the group generated by $t_1,dots,t_{n-1}$ with defining relations $t_i^2=1$, $t_i{t}_j=t_j{t}_i$ if $|i-j|>1$. We find a new instance of semisimple Schur--Weyl duality for tensor powers of a natural $n$-dimensional reflection representation of $T{W}_n$, depending on a parameter $q$. At $q=1$ the representation coincides with the natural permutation representation of the symmetric group, so the new Schur--Weyl duality may be regarded as a $q$-analogue of the one motivating the definition of the partition algebra.
