Tanya Cubric

Tanya Cubric (b.1991 Montréal) is a multidisciplinary artist from the Balkan-Diaspora currently working and living in Melbourne. As someone who has lived in a number of different countries, her practice is very much entangled around her experience of living under different social and cultural contexts. Through using her previous training in tv and theatre she performs satirical characters and creates improvised performances, video works and installations as a way to interrogate power, shame and the narratives we build about our lives.

 

By embracing playfulness as a form of resistance. i.e. through a lo-fi ready-made aesthetic, improvised performances and the tools of fantasy, humour and seduction, she re-narrativises cultural stereotypes and seeks to expose what we think we know about ourselves and the other.
