by Maryia Kamarova
Maryia Kamarova is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice is situated on the borders of performing arts, scenography, sound and installation art. She creates spatial settings that foster a sense of curiosity and attention toward everydayness. By staging and technically repurposing mundane objects, the artist emphasizes creative potential of the non-human world. Approaching sound as a performative medium, she continuously develops DIY electro-acoustic objects and lets them temporarily inhabit the sites of performances and installations. Her work has been presented internationally in Europe, Belarus, Ukraine and Mexico. Maryia Kamarova was laureate of the 2024 Rewilding Cultures Mobility Conversation grant.
