Evangelia Danadaki (b.1994, Greece) is a visual artist, working with
video, perfomance and film. Her practice is situated at the intersection of contemporary art and theory creating projects of visual imagery that are conceptually informed by readings. Central to her practice-as-research are the notions of plurality, performativity and the feminine. She studied Contemporary Photography and Philosophy at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London and Political Theory at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Currently, she is undertaking a PhD in feminist philosophy and film at the
School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies, University of Leeds (recipient of the Amanda Burton Scholarship). She is Research Fellow at the Global Center of Advanced Studies, College Dublin.
