Lydia Markaki Lydia Markaki
Lydia Markaki holds a Research Master’s degree in Cultural Analysis from the University of Amsterdam, a Bachelor’s Degree in Theory and History of Art from the Athens School of Fine Arts, Greece, and a Bachelor’s Degree in International and European Studies with a focus on Human Rights Protection and Refugee Law from Panteion University, Athens, Greece.
She was formerly working in the non-profit contemporary art institution State of Concept in Athens, Greece focusing on contemporary art exhibitions with a sociopolitical background. She is part of ESTO Association, a creative association in Athens bringing together design and artistic practices over current social issues. Her research interests revolve around contemporary art with an activist iteration looking into issues such as decoloniality, intersectional feminism, queer theory and collective curatorial practices.
At Framer Framed she is mainly involved with the coordination of the Public Program of the organisation and with exhibition production. She worked closely on the exhibition Scattered: Hidden Narratives through Archives (2023) by researcher and curator Nesli Gül that looks into the interactions of visual artists from Turkey who settled in the Netherlands with the Dutch art scene, pointing into a possibility of a polyphonic narrative for the art history of underrepresented artists discussing issues such as migration and identity politics.
