Kyriaki “Kakia” Gkoudina is an interdisciplinary artist and educator whose practice fluidly integrates contemporary music composition, performance, and digital media. As a composer and director, with a Doctor of Musical Arts from Michigan State University, she creates interdisciplinary works that feature music, movement, visual projection, and text—such as the performance We Existed. Took Up Space. Then, We Didn’t, staged in Athens, Greece. Her work is deeply political and theoretically bound to intersectionality and glocalization. Her music and interdisciplinary works have been presented and performed in institutions including the School of the National Theater of Greece, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, the Collab Studio, the Grand Bao'en Temple Ruins Museum and the Broad Art Museum.

Her interdisciplinary approach extends to pedagogy, notably the creation of the Coursera course Interdisciplinarity in Thought and Practice in collaboration with Michigan State University as well as, the development of the curriculum Integrated Composition that aims in collaborative creation through interdepartmental collaboration. Gkoudina's cross-genre research consistently explores narrative through the fusion of sonic, visual, and performance.
