Pegy Zali holds a doctorate in architecture and conducts artistic research that results in the writing of texts, video essays and installations. Combining fact and fiction, ethnographic observation, archival history, critical theory, news and memoir, she explores the structures of collective subjectivities, focusing on deconstructing their relationship to Power. Often taking eccentric feminist and queer theory as a point of departure and collective modes of artistic production, her practice explores the potential of other narratives informed by material, political and technological realities.
She has presented her collective work in solo shows at: P.E.T Projects, SPACE, Union Pacific, and Neo Cosmos; as well as in group shows including: Biennale Hong Kong and Shenzhen, Hong Kong, 2023; Eleusis 2023, Elefsina, 2022; Waste/d Pavilion, State of Concept, 2022; Instituting, Eight, Athens, 2021; On the edge of the Blade we run, Saigon, Athens 2019; Driftwood, Or How We Surfaced Through Currents, Athens, 2017;The 4th New Museum Triennial, New Museum, New York 2018; The Equilibrists, Benaki Museum, Athens 2016, among others. She holds a degree from the Architectural School, N.T.U.A, an MA in Architectural Research from the same university, an MA in Contemporary Curating from London Metropolitan University in collaboration with the Whitechapel Gallery, and a PhD in Architecture.
Pegy is co-founder of the architectural and artistic research collective Laboratory for the Urban Commons/Neo Cosmos and the [] (brackets), a method of forming fluid collaborations in the cracks of contemporary artistic practice, and 1992, an autoethnographic female artistic duo that studies Albanians in Greece.
