Across all disciplines, my aim is to create experiences that resonate and transform perception. Inspired from disappearing knowledges, I practice collective listening.

My name is Marie Yevkiné Tirard, I am an artist, composer, mediator and graphic designer. If you’re interested to collaborate, have inquiries or just to want to say hi — please reach out!
