Theemetra Harizani (b. 1993, Greece) is a Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist working across installation, performance, video & sound, textiles, and ready-made objects. Their practice emphasizes tenderness, community, and collective values. As a member of the frontviews art collective, a founding member of the cyber-fem art collective F.R.I.E.S., and a volunteer with Phyl.is, a student union for gender and equality, Theemetra’s work is deeply committed to challenging individualism and advocating for collective values in contemporary society.

Their technique is characterized by the use of diverse materials relevant to each project, while they engage their body and voice in performative ways, seeking to activate the space and create an immersive experience through the interaction of the art pieces, sound, light, and space. Theemetra’s research-driven approach incorporates archival imagery and statistical formats, reflecting an effort to impose order and control within the chaos of information. A usual approach on their mediumsis revisiting already established visual languages, such as the art of embroidery, or a graph, or the form of a lullaby. 

​

Theemetra’s art serves as a form of communication, an additional language to convey political, social, and personal positions. In the process, they also deepen their understanding of themselves. Their work addresses critical issues such as identity politics, social structures, monoheteronormativity, modern colonialism, nationalism, and social injustice. They also explore themes of rituality, communal creativity, ceremonial declarations, and ethics. Theemetra’s practice revisits tradition, folklore, and crafts always filtered through the spectrum of gender, race, neurotypes, and class.
