Meet the Artist
Ana
Khundadze
“In my interdisciplinary art practice, I delve into themes involving Georgia's cultural history, politics, memory and humor. Through sculpture, installation, and repoussé works, I challenge prevailing narratives in Georgia's history and present day. Artists and activists like Nadya Tolokonnikova inspire me, as I navigate the space between memory and erasure. My recent installations like 'Gauzy Bows' subvert historical symbols, reflecting on conformity and resistance under the Soviet regime. My art serves as a provocative mechanism for social change, interrogating the intersections of individual identity, societal norms, and political agency.”
Ana Khundadze (b.1998) is an interdisciplinary artist from Tbilisi, Georgia based in T'karonto (Toronto). She primarily works in sculpture, installation, repoussé, metal casting and painting.
