Ziliä Qansurá

Ziliä Qansurá (b. Bashqortostan) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Vienna, Austria. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. With a background spanning fine arts, stage design, and performance, her artistic path has taken her across different disciplines and places, shaping her perspective along the way. Growing up in Bashqortostan, in her tribe’s village she developed an early interest in visual and material culture, as well as the ways in which space, movement, and storytelling shape experience. Initially working in theater, she later expanded her practice to include installation, textiles and performance. Moving between different contexts, she has explored ways of working with history, identity and transformation. This evolving engagement continues to inform her practice, which remains open to shifts in medium, approach and interpretation.
