The Feminist Lecture Program in collaboration with SLQS Gallery is pleased to announce our June guest of our Artist Talks series. Dyana Gravina will perform an online Lecture Performance followed by a conversation.
Hosted by FLP Director Luisa-Maria MacCormack in collaboration with Sarah Le Quang Sang, Founder and Director of SLQS Gallery, this six-part series brings together contemporary female and non-binary artists working across painting, sculpture, performance and interdisciplinary practice whose work engages questions of embodiment, ecology, mythology, queer theory, disability, material experimentation and alternative ways of knowing - artists building practices that sit slightly outside established routes into the art world.
Each session offers an in-depth look at an artist’s work, process and influences, alongside a live via FLP’s pay-what-you-can platform, the series is open to an international audience of artists, students and anyone interested in contemporary art.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Dyana Gravina (They/She) is an interdisciplinary artist, curator, birth doula, activist, mover, community builder, and author of Embodied Histories (2025) and Integrated Care: From Individual to Collective Systems (2026). She holds an MA in Gender, Sexuality and Culture from Birkbeck, University of London. She is the founding director of Procreate Project and of Mother House Studios, an artist studio with integrated care. Gravina is also a birth doula working with vulnerable communities and a certified birth educator, and currently works as a curator at IKLECTIK.
Their interdisciplinary and curatorial practices focus on intergenerational feminist collective organising, care, identities, and genealogies, as well as decentralised networks of knowledge sharing and collective memory. Working within a queer and anti-capitalist patriarchal framework, they use tights as a material language to tell stories about class and gender, weaving together sacred rituals, acts of care, and rebellion. Gravina’s work spans writing, movement, photography, sculpture, and sound visual installations.
She has curated and collaborated with institutions including the RCA, King’s College London, LADA, Mimosa House, the Women’s Art Library, and the Science Gallery London. Her performances and lectures have been presented across the UK and internationally at venues including ICP (New York), Art Basel, Venice International Performance Art Week, Unit London, SLQS Gallery among others.
