MARA VERHOOGT (b.2001, Bucharest)
Mara Verhoogt lives and works in Bucharest and London. She studied at Chelsea College of Art in London. Her practice traces the points of convergence between humans and non-human beings, using self-portraiture and body modification as ways of re-inventing and breaking out of rigid identity structures. Her works span various media – video, ceramics, textiles and drawing. She exhibited at the Suprainfinit Gallery Bucharest (2023), Safehouse London (2022), Arthub Studios London (2022), Avalon Cafe London (2022), Goodbuy Gallery Bucharest (2021).
