Ariadni Vezyroglou, MFA, MA
Ariadni Vezyroglou is a visual artist and educator whose work bridges art, technology, and social engagement. She holds a BFA in Fine Arts from De Montfort University (Leicester, UK), an MA in Sculpture from Winchester School of Art, Southampton University (UK), and an MFA in Fine Arts and Technology from the New York Institute of Technology (USA).
With nearly twenty years of experience across public schools, nonprofits, and higher education, Ariadni teaches through an inquiry-based, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive lens. She is committed to decolonizing the curriculum by amplifying marginalized voices and integrating diverse cultural perspectives so that all students see their identities reflected in their learning.
A dedicated practitioner of meditation and yoga, she weaves contemplative practice into her teaching to support resilience, compassion, and community. Ariadni is currently completing the Nalanda Institute’s Compassion-Based Resilience Training (CBRT) Teacher Training program, building on extensive training through the Academy for Community Behavioral Health at CUNY SPS."
