Pianka Pärna
Pianka Pärna is a non-binary post-Soviet artist from Estonia, exploring Baltic/Slavic mythologies, queer grief & gender non-conformity through performance. Their body-based practise intertwines folklore, ritual, mythological storytelling, and endurance to challenge hegemonic heteronormative narratives & post-Soviet cultural silencing while engaging in un/worlding—balancing creation, disintegration & collective transformation.By often incorporating elements of body piercing and modification, their performance practise further examines ideas of control and reception of pain/pleasure modalities to acquire agency to the existence within the self(ves) among others.
Bio supplied in April 2025 for CEREMONY: a festival of performance.
