Elena Marchevska
Elena Marchevska is a practitioner, academic and researcher interested in creating work that can help us to think through new historical discontinuities that have emerged in post-capitalist and post-socialist transition. This is ever more relevant at a time when the Eurozone is fragmenting, and right wing populisms are on the rise. In addition, she does research and writes extensively on the issues of belonging, female body and the border and intergenerational trauma.
Practice Statement
My artistic work explores borders and stories that emerge from living in transition. Ultimately, I am interested in creating and researching work that provides means by which people can meet, human to human, in all their differences, in the most sensitive and sincere way possible.
