Biography
Sound, voice and collective action form the basis of Mikhail Karikis’s practice. Through moving image, installation and performance, he collaborates with communities — including children, refugees and social workers — to explore forms of solidarity, labour, and resistance. His projects often emerge from specific social and political contexts, where listening becomes a means of reconfiguring relationships between individuals and environments. Through choral structures and shared vocal expression, the artist develops works that foreground collective agency and the capacity of sound to articulate alternative social imaginaries.
