Kristina Cranfeld

Kristina Cranfeld is an award-winning and internationally recognised academic researcher, photographer and artist-filmmaker. She studied Architecture in Tashkent before relocating to the UK to study Design at Goldsmiths and the RCA. Her artistic practice interrogates the narratives in popular culture with a focus on the construction of identity in relation to the social, political and environmental themes. Her primary medium of lens-based media interweaves reportage and speculative fiction, posing questions about the distinctions and interactions between fiction and reality as both commentary and provocation.

Kristina has given talks at TEDx, UCLA and Liverpool Salon. Her works are exhibited internationally and published by Dezeen, WeMakeMoneyNotArt, Grafik, The Line Magazine and Blueprint amongst others. She is a winner of the ICA Best Experimental Film award and her films are screened at a number of international galleries and film festivals. Kristina teaches at the Royal College of Art within Information Experience Design and Master of Fine Arts programs.
