Kristina Nenova

Kristina Nenova is a Bulgarian artist based in the UK. She takes an interdisciplinary approach to create work focusing on the act of passing down traditions, belongings, ideas and knowledge. Her interests stem from personal experience of migrating from Bulgaria to the UK, navigating a balance of new identities within an ever changing political and social context. Most recently, she has began utilising the act of pickling as a research method, and the act of filling out bureaucratic forms as a way of exploring the nuances of her migration.

Nenova works with sound, archival materials, textiles and moving image, often combining the mediums for the purpose of story telling. Kristina’s research is concerned in the way the act of passing down is transformed by migration and queerness, with a focus on traditional dancing, objects brought over from home, and oral histories.
