is a cross-disciplinary artist (performance (art), dance, video, photography) All her inspiration comes from the daily life, encounters, observation of interpersonal relationships, abandoned places, gender politics and philosophy, feminist approaches on subjectivity and identity. Pivotal topics of recent projects include the body as gathering place of emotions, personal and collective memory, fragmentation, construction and deconstruction of female identity, performativity of documentation and different uses of personal archives. In 2015, as part of her final project for the MFA studies, she started the practice-led research “Vulvography: photography and performance from a female point of view” which is focused on the gendered nature of the performative role of the photographer whilst exploring ways to confront implied phallocentrism within the practice of photographing. In 2016, building on this work, she reversed the previous model of “cunt as camera” and turned her cunt into a cinematic platform. exploring themes of spectatorship and gaze, politics of performative objects and body as locus where nature and culture meet.

Fenia Kotsopoulou (GR)
is a performance and visual artist, currently working and living in Athens. His work is a provocative attack to the problematic aspects and cultural manifestations of modern Greek History. He uses mythological references to fuse past and present..He also makes performative interventions in urban contexts, usually by appearing to events without being invited. He attacks every rotten aspect of modern Greek culture : phallocracy, political corruption, police immunity ... in a lyrical and trippy way, http://kanetonponosouarpa.tumblr.com
