HIGH ART 2020 SPOTLIGHT: GRIGORIA VRYTTIA
“Awaken”
Grigoria Vryttia (born 1983, Athens Greece) is a contemporary art-practitioner and designer, currently located in Athens, Greece. Her work includes various practices with main media eco-friendly materials, such as fabrics, re-purposed paper and the human body. Her work is deeply ecological and anti-consumerist. In addition to her official art and practice, she designs and makes bags and costumes for the theatre and the cinema, illustrates books and designs covers for local zines and small experimental music labels. During the last year and a half, and after a strong and dangerous experience concerning her health, she developed a persona that appears with the stage name Frida Kavlo, and takes part as a quasi-poet and a performer to activist for LGBTQI and women’s rights burlesque shows.
She entered “Awaken” during High Art 2020.
