Mivan Makia is a filmmaker, visual artist, and researcher.  

 

Interested in self-portraiture and West Asian cultural expression, her practice moves fluidly between disciplines—drawing from anthropology, archival research, and experimental image-making—to delve into the fluctuating perspectives of transient bodies. Often working with collected earth matter and archives, she treats these materials not as fixed records but as living sources open to remediation, reconstruction, intervention, and participation. Her work explores the relationship between these bodies and the landscape through memory work, geopolitical narratives, and speculative fiction.  

 

Makia has exhibited her films in festivals and screenings internationally including Canada, USA, England, Spain, France and the UAE.
