Born in 1986 in Elbasan, Albania, Kristian Zara is a multidisciplinary artist engaging with memory, materiality, and inherited trauma. Drawing on textile traditions and a bilingual upbringing family, he holds degrees from the Athens School of Fine Arts and the University of Dundee. Zara’s research-oriented practice integrates Jungian thought and alchemical symbolism. His public work installation – The Present Past (2024) at the former Spaç prison, and his last project Self in Flux (2025-2026) – examine collective history, persona, and authenticity, treating art as a transformative process.
