My Fancy Future

The Kartzin Socially Engaged Arts Lab by Visual Voices presents “My Fancy Future", a solo exhibition by Fotini Michailidi. Fotini Michailidi’s images explore a speculative encounter with the near future. Drawing from autobiographical material, the artist opens a window onto intimate moments of everyday life within a domestic landscape shaped by assistive technologies. With a visual vocabulary associated with contemporary fashion photography, Michailidi creates a productive tension between the stylised image and the disabled body, interrogating how it is visualised, aestheticised, and culturally consumed. Through this nuanced exploration, Michailidi draws attention to the ways disability is produced, negotiated, and lived in domestic space, social structures, and material infrastructures. Fotini Michailidi (born in 1993, Paphos, Cyprus) is a visual artist whose practice explores the body, identity, and the lived experience of disability through photography, installation, and socially engaged art. She holds a BA in Fine Art from Middlesex University, London, and an MA in Digital Art and Design from the University of Nicosia. Since 2015, she has participated in exhibitions, symposiums, artist residencies, workshops, and festivals in Cyprus, Mexico, Italy, UK and Greece. She is a member of the Cyprus Chamber of Fine Arts (E.KA.TE) and has served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Muscular Dystrophy Association Cyprus (MDA) since 2023.
