Eirini Vlavianou is a multidisciplinary artist and researcher born in Greece in 1994. By employing the principles of intake, transformation and exchange her practice is a search of the self within the ambiguous where languages, symbols and practices of the past are re-introduced in order to propose an entangled multi-species past, present and future. Using speculative fabulation and mythologizing as tools to awaken the imagination, her aim is to approach those hard-to-fathom natural phenomena that humans seem to feel so distanced from while engaging in new ways of thinking about agency, growth, communication, care, healing and rest. Her projects take up space as efforts for "unstoppable incursions",
