Antigoni Tsagkaropoulou
Antigoni Tsagkaropoulou is a multidisciplinary artist from Athens, Greece based in Los Angeles, California. Their work spans video, installation, performance, and sculpture, forming experimental, immersive, interactive, and cinematic environments. Their world-body-building practice centers on themes of softness, deviance, kinship, affect and community building, creating radically fluffy hubs for unruly presents and hope-punk futures. Antigoni is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Media Arts and Practice at USC School of Cinematic Arts. They also hold an MFA in Media Arts from UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture, and a BFA in Sculpture from the Athens School of Fine Arts in Greece.
