Annie Riga (b.1997) is a visual artist and researcher based between London and Athens. Working across painting, ceramic sculpture and installation, she engages with the politics and poetics of leakiness as a critical strategy in contemporary visual culture. Grounded in feminist and posthumanist thought, her practice explores how instability, fluidity and affect can unsettle dominant structures of vision, knowledge and form, proposing more porous and relational ways of understanding artistic production. Annie holds a BFA in fine art from Falmouth University and an MFA from St Joost school of Art and Design. She is currently pursuing a practice-based PhD at Chelsea College of Art, London.
