MARA VERHOOGT (b.2001, Bucharest)
Working in video, ceramics and textile, Mara Verhoogt earned her Bachelor in Fine Art from the Chelsea College of Art in London in 2023. Her practice traces points of convergence between humans and non-human beings, using self-portraiture and body modification as ways of re-inventing and breaking out of pre-determined identity structures. She is a co-founder of the STOL Collective. She mounted her first solo exhibition at Catinca Tabacaru Gallery in Bucharest in 2024 and is co-represented by Catinca Tabacaru and eastcontemporary, Milan.
