Labrini Rizaki is a visual artist and researcher, born in Greece.
She holds a BA in Fine Arts from Athens School of Fine Arts , a BA in Graphic Design from Vakalo, Art and Design College, and a seminar degree from KESYTHE on art therapy and consultation. In her work, Rizaki is concerned with post-capitalist structures and the new hybrid social model they create, which establishes unfamiliar patterns of communication and pulverizes the human body through the means of technology and consumerism. She traces and records the course of the human, its history and evolution while appreciating colonialism as a condition and a need of the human to have control over anything non-human. Through her research, she delves into those new in-between spaces fabricated within this contemporary social model, while mapping out the transition of human activity from the physical to the virtual space, and the mechanisms of control interweaved with it. In her practice, Rizaki aims to create new paths and spaces of suspension where all people are allowed to recollect their thoughts and exist. 

Rizaki was a resident of the “Post Social Media Club” residency organized by STPLN, Volumes, Nova Iskra, ATÖLYE and Bios and she was also a research fellow in Center for Social Vision in Sofia, Bulgaria. She is a member of Room to Bloom community and her work has been presented in spaces, venues and publications such as Athens Digital Arts Festival, Millenium Film Workshop in Brooklyn,NY,Biennale of Western Balkans, the Southern Sweden Design Days and Thraka magazine. She is currently based in North Greece and working as an art teacher and ceramist. During the next months she will present her work in Paxos Biennale,Greece and in the upcoming exhibition FIGURES in CICA Museum in Korea.
