Martha Panagiotopoulou (b. 1991, Athens, Gr.) holds an MFA from Glasgow School of Art and a Diploma of Architecture from the National Technical University of Athens. Her work has been been exhibited in various spaces like the Bath house of the Winds, GoMA & the UN Climate Change Conference. She has been awarded the NEON scholarship prize and has published the poetry collection Hydrias and the artist book Libella Nova. Her practice spans across sculpture, installations, video and performance with references to hydro-feminist approaches.

 

Her work usually deals with gender issues in relation to ecology and envisions post-human, symbiotic worlds which exist in ambiguity and in a liminal space between fragility and rawness. Her research often focuses in female figures/femininities drawn from history, myths, folklore stories, storytelling and science fiction. Through her practice she highlights the fragile nature of constructed identities, gendered roles, social and ecological inequalities and constructs spacial situations were these are melted, dismantled, broken into pieces and put back together in new ways.
