Radina Kordova is aย performance artist from Bulgaria, currently living and working in Groningen, the Netherlands. Herย artistic practice blends personal experience with collective memory, rooted in ecological and cultural themes. Hydrofeminist ethics, deep listening, and embodied storytelling guide sound-based performance installations, where water plays a central role as a folklore element, material, and a metaphor for collective and individual transformation. Sheย reflects on this by using myths and personal writings not as fixed tales but as evolving, shared narratives.ย Kordova'sย installations activate sculptural environments through sound, movement, and poetic text, inviting audiences to slow down, co-listen, and attune. Her artistic vision centers on exploring how to relate to one another and the more-than-human world by using storytelling and sound to understand, connect, and imagine alternative futures.ย
Radina loves to collaborate and, next to being an autonomous artist, she works towards organizing, curating,ย and production. She has obtained a BFA in "Fine Arts" from Academy Minerva and an MFA in โMedia, Art, Design, and Technologyโ at the Frank Mohr Institute and is currently working for Groningen-based art institutions like Kunstcentrum de Ploeg and Gallery Noorderlicht.ย
I live in a world that confuses me, scares me and only sometimes awes me. I have recognized within me that telling stories is what helps me express these feelings - sonic narratives, verbal diapasons, and speculative ramblings. Material research and experimentation fill in the non-tangible, dream-like output I produce. Collectivity awes me, it's a warm blanket.ย ย
