I am Cyprus-born artist, curator and cultural producer specialising in live art and performance studies. My creative work is situated within contemporary art and spans artistic and curatorial research on experimental art, theatre and performance, noise music, grotesque aesthetics, mythology and fiction, philosophy and design wearable sound instruments that I refer to as body sculptures. I combine material experimentation, archival research, autobiography, body suspension and movement, dramaturgy and scores, narratives and storytelling, character development, and public activation.
Growing up in the last divided city, my work reflects the complexities of the sociopolitical structures I embodied while growing up and thus explores identity through a post-structural lens of noise. Throughout the breadth of my professional practice, I examine noise and its role as a critical necessity in today’s contemporary society. In my work, noise functions as a method to generate material, challenge the status quo, and, through creative analysis, unlock the performativity of the world.
As a curator and cultural producer, I have recently co-curated a refugee integration program based on creative methods, organized by the Nicosia International Festival in collaboration with ΕΜΣΤ | National Museum of Contemporary Art Athens. The program included creative workshops, a photographic portrait exhibition, an educational program for primary schools, guided tours in the city of Nicosia, seminars, and lectures. I work as a production officer at the Nicosia International Festival and have collaborated with Festival d’Avignon, Onassis Stegi, Athens Epidaurus Festival, Schaubühne, Mercat de les Flors, Teatros del Canal, Broadway Entertainment Group, Sadler’s Wells, Pina Bausch Foundation, and the Greek National Opera, among others. I graduated with a Master of Arts in Live Art and Performance Studies from Teatterikorkeakoulu – Taideyliopisto in Helsinki (2020), and with a BA(hons) in Art & Design from Kingston University London (2014).
I am a Koneen Säätiö fellow (2020–2022) and a fellow artist at Art OMI Center in New York (2023). I have exhibited internationally across Europe and the United States. I was commissioned by the Museum of Impossible Forms, Kontula Electronic, Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, Goethe Institut Zypern, Defibrillator Art Gallery in Chicago, and Luisa Catucci Gallery in Berlin. My work has been featured in Wire Magazine and Rondo Classice Magazine, among others.
