Irene Bakola is a critic and essayist based in Athens. Informed by her studies in theater and oriented toward postcolonial and queer readings, she writes about performance and film not through an individuated lens but as the synthesis of cultural, historical, and philosophical discourse. Bakola’s aim is to thread together texts and images that prove themselves assemblages of art in praxis. She holds a BA in theater studies, frequently participates in film festivals, and is cohost of the forthcoming podcast This Film Exists. Find more of her work at irenebakola.com.
