Vasileia Anaxagorou- Summer Group Exhibition
Vasileia Anaxagorou was born in Larnaca in 1992. In 2011 she graduated from the American Academy of Larnaca. She went on to study Politics and History at the University of Nottingham and Goldsmiths College, the University of London in the United Kingdom. She was then admitted to the School of Visual Arts in New York City, where she graduated as the top student of her department in BFA Fine Art. She continued her studies at the University of Oxford with the supervision of Katrina Palmer and Oreet Ashery, obtaining an MFA in Fine Art with distinction. Vasileia is currently working towards her doctoral research at the University of Cyprus with Professor Fabienne Baider, focusing on the sexual politics of the migrant and, more precisely, the asylum seeker at the University of Cyprus.
Anaxagorou’s work is interdisciplinary, overlapping in places with moving-image, performance, socially-engaged artworks, photography, painting, drawing, and text-based narratives. Through her work, she continually addresses themes from feminist and queer theory and uses her voice through art-making and research questioning gender representation in societal canons.
