Emilia Koufa is a visual artist and educator based in Thessaloniki. She studied at the School of Fine Arts of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and at the Zurich University of the Arts. She continued her postgraduate studies at Central Saint Martins.

Her practice moves between video, installation, costumes, and constructed objects, with a focus on the relationship between body, space, and play. Through her work, she explores the idea of the house and the body as sites of dwelling and storytelling, creating hybrid worlds through objects, dolls, garments, and moving images.

She often draws inspiration from old toys, dolls, and found objects, which reappear as carriers of memory and are transformed into new narrative forms. She is particularly interested in the reuse of materials, objects, and obsolete technologies as part of a process of transformation and re-signification. Her work develops as an ongoing construction of personal worlds, where the familiar and the imaginary coexist.

Alongside her artistic practice, she is active in the field of education and creative practice, incorporating traditional techniques such as embroidery and sewing in combination with contemporary artistic approaches.
