Dr Katarina Ranković is an artist, writer and emerging composer working across performance, voice, moving image, drawing and text. Her practice explores selfhood and agency through acts of inhabiting, voicing and scripting, asking how human, fictional and non-human forms of personhood are constituted and brought to life. Her long-running performance series The One Woman Empathy Circus explores the fluidity of selfhood through the improvised inhabitation of different characters. Current projects include Aria and the Curtain, an experimental opera and digital libretto about a sentient song brought into being through human voices, and Mourning Flowers, a series of intricate ink drawings exploring the handmade and singularity in an age of generative reproduction. Ranković holds a PhD in Art from Goldsmiths (2023). Her work has been presented at Bloomberg New Contemporaries, South London Gallery and Transmediale, and she was awarded first prize at the Biennial of Humour and Satire, Gabrovo.
