Kadri Liis Rääk

Kadri Liis Rääk (b. 1990, Tallinn, Estonia) is a Tallinn-based artist and junior researcher at the Estonian Academy of Arts whose work explores touch and tactility as modes of experiencing bodily space and embodied perception. Working across installation, drawing, ceramics and speculative design, she combines diverse media and materials to create immersive sensory environments that examine relationships between human and non-human entities through symbolic and ecological narratives.

Rääk holds a BA in Film Scenography (2014) and an MA in Contemporary Art (2019) from the Estonian Academy of Arts, as well as an MA in Autonomous Design (2018) from KASK in Ghent. She has further developed her practice through residencies and projects at NOW: Gallery (2022), SÍM Residency (2022) and Kunstkollektivet 8B (2021). Her work has been presented internationally, including at Sequences Biennale XI in Reykjavík and in a solo exhibition at NOW: Gallery in Lima. Since 2022, she has been a doctoral candidate in the Art and Design programme at the Estonian Academy of Arts, researching touch and embodied sensing as means of experiencing body-space.
