Katya Rozanova is an interdisciplinary artist, designer, and educator.

They create assemblages from found and sculpted materials, animation–video collages, and tactile works that invite improvisational participation.

Rozanova’s research explores how visual, tactile, and sonic art can be combined in group settings - conceptual “jam” sessions open to people with or without artistic or musical experience. Their work asks: can “jamming” together across mediums create accessible spaces for reflection and collective invention? What can be learned by creating such spaces? Everyone deserves to jam!

Their independent and collaborative work has appeared in exhibitions at Essex Flowers, Baby Castles, the Museum of the Moving Image, Issue Project Room, Pineapple Reality, NYU’s Un/Sounding the Relational City conference, the NYC Electroacoustic Improvisation Summit, UC Berkeley’s Platform Space, the International Conference on Movement and Computing,the SloMoCo residency, and at Accessible Objects. In 2023, I received a Goethe Institut grant for a tactile sound sculpture presented at Sound Scene at the Hirshhorn Museum of Art in Washington, DC.
