Tina Stefanou Read Bio Collapse
Tina Stefanou is a visual artist, performer-vocalist, researcher, and filmmaker from Naarm/Melbourne, Australia, raised in a working-class Greek migrant family. Her multidisciplinary practice, shaped by experiences in rural Western Australia and international cities, spans cinema, voice, performance, and ethnographic research. She explores social class, species boundaries, and the impact of neoliberalism on relational practices. Stefanou’s work engages with public spaces, museums, and site-specific contexts, blending experimental voice with visual arts to provoke, soothe, and convey sonorities beyond words. She has received the Schenberg Fellowship (2020), Marten Bequest Scholarship (2021), and the 68th Blake Prize (2024). Her work has been exhibited in many contexts including the National Gallery of Victoria, Salt Museum (Istanbul), and the Adelaide Biennale of Australia Art. Currently, she is a PhD candidate at the Faculty of Fine Arts and Music, VCA, University of Melbourne.
