Ivana Mirchevska (b.1992, living and working in Skopje) is a visual artist and researcher working across moving images, text, sound and installation. Ivana’s research is drawn to topics that come from the intersection between the technologies of vision, the spatial configuration of the gaze and the body.

Taking an active role in the independent and experimental art scene in North Macedonia, Ivana is one of the co-founders and curator of the Underground is Easier to Breathe Festival- a platform for ephemeral and experimental art practices curated by Kula Collective from Skopje.
