Ana Mikadze (b*2002), Georgian designer, artist and art researcher of Armenian descent (Kars). Their work mainly addresses the material and infrastructural legacies of imperialism and colonialism in the Caucasus, tracing them to the contemporary conditions of extractivism, labor, and the processes of borderization. With a background in industrial design, their practice emerges from their profound interest in the entanglements of design, history, and geopolitics. Ana’s work moves across installations, investigations, text and material inquiry.

In fact, food delivery riders, most of them migrants, have almost no labour protection. During WIENWOCHE, “state of matter” Verein (Ana Mikadze, Fabio Hofer) called for active solidarity in connecting the festival audience with the riders, whose work shifts were taken over by volunteers on a solidarity basis. In this way, the riders used their time off duty to learn about their rights and connect to colleagues, who they have been deliberately disconnected from through the working environments dictated by the platforms.
