Petja Ivanova

Petja Ivanova (she/her, b. in Bulgaria) is an artist, lecturer, and performer whose interdisciplinary practice is situated within her “Studio for Poetic Futures & Speculative Ecologies.” Her work interrogates the epistemological dominance of technocratic abstraction, proposing instead a feminist, anti-colonial reattunement to the living world. Bridging computational art with affective intelligence, Ivanova’s installations and performances explore the psychic and sensory continuities between body and landscape. Her recent research and exhibitions center around “Soma of the Land,” an ongoing inquiry into how sacred water sites, dreaming practices, and landscapes open portals to collective ecological consciousness. Her work has been shown at Museum Folkwang, V2 Rotterdam, ZKM Karlsruhe among others.
