Evgenia Mikhaylova is an interdisciplinary artist living and working between the ancestral lands of the Attawandaron/Chonnonton, the Anishinaabe, and Haudenosaunee peoples, the treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, Guelph, ON and Treaty 6 territory – the traditional lands of the Cree, Saulteaux, Dene, Dakota, Lakota, Nakota, and Métis nations-Saskatoon, SK. Evgenia works in installation, sculpture, video, sound, drawing, writing and performance. Her work examines the intricacies of communication systems, language and epistemology through interdisciplinary research-based practice that investigates parallels between the ways we experience the world through our senses and the ways we interpret the knowledge we acquire.



Curious about existing knowledge patterns becoming porous, destabilizing hierarchies, and revealing hidden agencies in communication ecosystems, Evgenia explores the underbelly of language and its connection to the sensorial and embodied way of meaning-making.



Working in the medium of an art installation as a space of spatial relationships and immersive sensory conditions, Evgenia explores the role of reciprocity, play and collaboration in communication and language through semiotic approach to musicality and performance.
