Marina Tziara is a Greek multidisciplinary artist and writer whose practice explores collective memory and the retelling of stories as sites of resilience and transcendence. Through sculpture, painting, and text, she creates wearable and interactive works that transform personal narratives into collective rituals. Projects such as Girls on the Run and The Carcass investigate disappearance, survival, and transformation through posthuman and surrealist languages, blurring the boundaries between body, myth, and landscape. Rooted in community engagement, her work activates sculpture through participation and storytelling, cultivating spaces where memory is embodied and reimagined. She studied and lived in Spain for 11 years, has been based in France since 2020, and was awarded a full residency at Centre Pompadour (France, 2024). She has participated in international initiatives, such as Women on the Move (European project Re-Wiring: Unmasking Gendered Power Hierarchies), and her work has been presented in exhibitions, residencies, and collaborative projects worldwide, with an upcoming show this October at CICA Contemporary Art Museum in Korea.
