Chara Stergiou was born in Greece (1991). She is a multidisciplinary artist and independent researcher. Her practice focuses on the point where epistemological research and artistic practice merge. With a strong background in spatial studies, she manages to explore questions of agency and materiality, as well as the larger-scale distribution of technical media by approaching the latter through the lens of archaeology. She studies description-defying aesthetic spatialities and uses sonic narratives to capture phenomena of a seemingly invisible and immaterial nature. In this context, she has developed the methodology of the ‘DJ Lecture’. The latter is a hybrid narrative technique for addressing sociopolitical phenomena related to the sea, whereby stories, geographies and identities compose a sonic, almost radiophonic, event subsequently transmitted with the aid of a kind of distorted ethnomusicology.  She is a graduate of the Department of Visual Cultures (MA in Contemporary Art Theory) of Goldsmiths, University of London and she also holds a MSc in Post-Industrial Design from the University of Thessaly, Greece, where she also obtained her diploma in Architecture. She is among the artists selected to participate in the Biennial of Young Artists from Europe and the Meditarranean MEDITARRANEA 19 ‘School of Waters’.
