MOUZAHRES is a design project by Evana Natalia Tanner, whose work explores the phenomenology of cultural multiplicity, post diasporic identity and the embodied experience of cultural hybridity. In particular, the legacy of displacement and interchange between Eastern and Western territories and customs. Drawing from her formative training in life drawing in Rome and education in Fine Art and Visual Culture, her work excavates the rich historical dialogue between Ottoman and Venetian rulings which act as the pillars of her cultural ontology. 

Evana Natalia’s art practice is deeply informed by the territories she inhabits, most notably Venice and Megisti,  both acting as lenses through which she has examined their cultural and territorial metamorphosis. 

Through selected motifs, this venture translates her ongoing research into wearable art and serves as a channel that observes ethnocultural subjectivity and historical narratives.
