Yev Kravt is an independent curator living between Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and Larnaca, Cyprus. With a background in contemporary art, Yev is committed to integrating social change and inclusiveness into her curatorial practice. Her work aims to encourage experimentation and foster diversity in the evolving art world, with a strong interest in (bio)design and digital art. From 2021 to 2023, she served as the curator of the 3rd Larnaca Biennale in Cyprus, where she curated exhibitions on the theme “Home Away From Home,” which attracted over 60,000 visitors.

 

In September 2024, she curated the exhibition BODY HEAT at Droog Gallery in Amsterdam, and earlier at the North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam. In April 2024, Yev was closely involved in the exhibition ME/YOU, US/THEM, which showcased the work of artists, designers, and architects exploring the complexities of identity, the interplay between 'me' and 'you', and the dynamics of 'us' and 'them'. She also organized and co-founded the first BioDesign Festival in Cyprus in 2023, in collaboration with Larnaka European Capital of Culture.

 

Over the past 10 years, Yev has worked in various capacities with several museums, institutions, galleries, and non-profit spaces, including Droog Design, Foam Photography Museum Amsterdam, UNSEEN Photography Fair, Ron Mandos Gallery, SEXYLAND World, Het Nieuwe Instituut, Kunstfort Vijfhuizen, Outsiderwear Festival, Outsider Gallery (now No Limits Art Castle), and the Biennale of São Tomé and Príncipe.
