Antigoni Tsagkaropoulou

Antigoni Tsagkaropoulou (b.1993) is a multidisciplinary artist and researcher who works and lives between Los Angeles, California, and Athens, Greece. Their practice constructs speculative worlds that pulse between reality and fiction, centering a chorus of queer, femme, and more-than-human voices existing in the margins of techno-capitalist regimes. Their work spans experimental films, XR performances, participatory installations, and sculptural works forming immersive and radically soft hubs for unruly presents and hope-punk futures. Collaboration—with artists, friends, lovers, and machines—is fundamental to their practice, grounding their work in relational and intimate methodologies that propose visionary reconfigurations of social, political, ecological, and economic systems.

Antigoni is currently a PhD candidate in Media Arts and Practice at USC School of Cinematic Arts. Their research-based practice is informed by queer feminist theory, affect theory, critical computation, and post-cinematic discourses, exploring softness as an agential quality, a form of intelligence, a nonhuman and elemental force, and a site of deviance and transformation. They hold an MFA in Media Arts from the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture, supported by a Fulbright and an Onassis Scholarship, and a BFA in Sculpture from the Athens School of Fine Arts. Their work has been exhibited at prestigious venues such as the Arnolfini Center for Contemporary Arts in Bristol, Honor Fraser Gallery, REDCAT (Roy and Edna Disney CalArts Theater), UCR Arts x Los Angeles County Museum (LACMA) as part of PST Art, NRW-Forum in Düsseldorf, and Gray Area in San Francisco.

Antigoni Tsagkaropoulou is an Onassis AiR Fellow for 2025/26 through the AiR/ONX Fellowship program.
