Vlada Predelina


My work looks into the meaning of the rootedness between the body and land through a range of mediums such as collective making of food, natural dyes, bioplastics, ceramics and documenting uses of native plants alongside intimate discussions and situated histories. 

Currently undertaking MA in Fine Arts at HKU University of the Arts, Utrecht where I am researching the role of tacit knowledges of women in relation to land and colonial expansion.
Since 2020 I have been working as part of Eathouse, an artist collective initiated by artists Jake Caleb, Merve Kılıçer, Ulufer Çelik, and myself. In our practice we explore the potential of food as an artistic method. We do this to instigate dialogue on ways that the culinary informs the social. We have hosted public events, kitchen takeovers, fundraisers and online broadcasts. In addition we invite other artists engaging with food to share their research with a wider audience.
