I was born in the ancient Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod,
in 1987 it was still called Gorky, and the country of the USSR. The city stands on a beautiful place at the confluence of two rivers Volga and Oka. As my husband says, living there, it is impossible not to become a painter. My house in a simple residential area was next to the river and I used toskipp classes on the shore, drawing landscapes and fishermen with whom I was friends. Contrary to my mother's expectations, I entered the Art College. I had to compromise and promise my mom that I would get a higher education. The following year 2005 I
entered Nizhny Novgorod Pedagogical University, specializing in philosophy and social studies.
Since the same year I started teaching drawing in response to the fact that my mom was upset with my unpragmatic choices and refused to provide for me. I put an ad in the newspaper, as the internet was not popular then. So I had three students and started my teaching practice, which I still do today
.
One of my teaching projects PAT happened at the St. Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts, where I graduated in 2015 with a degree in printmaking and illustration.
In my 6th year I was an exchange student at the Finnish Saimaa University. There, surrounded by rocks and colored mosses, my classmate Tanya Morozova and I started photographing stories about human connection with nature. So, after finally receiving my diploma of higher education, I started to be interested in contemporary dance and practicing performance at the SDVIG studio organised by Anton Vdovichenko. In 2015-2017 I studied at the school of contemporary art pro-Arte. There, my schoolmates and I tried to create a horizontal community BZMST and thought about the collective body. Then I fell in love and moved to Moscow. This period corresponds to several performances - reflections on love "Enter My Text", as well as an ongoing research project co-authored with my husband Dmitry Chevozerov Safety Precautions in Love Relationships.
I also attended the mediator school of GES2 in 2018 and worked at the exhibition. I made friends there and later did some participatory projects with the foundation. In 2017-2019
I studied at the contemporary art school Baza, and in parallel with contemporary dance made several projects: Lab of the current constitution, I am watching for you and My ex body.
I saw the political potential in dance as it allows me to be conscious and change my relationship with the viewer, space and my own body, to see how power is distributed. In 2019 I curated several projects on drawing as a process, the phenomenon of post-truth and the power of interpretation. In 2020 my mum died and I made a flat memorial exhibition.
I met Daria Plokhova in whose collective I was a performer and dancer from 2019 to 2022.
In parallel, I participated in collective exhibitions and as part of the art group I continued to shoot photographs, reflecting on plant life.All my diverse activities are united by an interest in relations. Faced with the impossibility of social realisation in my country, I decided to pay more attention to non-human communities. In 2018 I went on a residency in Lithuania, where I met guys who are restoring a classicist manor house, reasoning in the context of new materialism and object-oriented ontology. Which supported my interest in ideas about the lack of human exceptionalism and treating plants as active actors.
In 2022 I got to the Contemporary Dance residency, where I made a work in the pique of Russian reality - Plant Opposition.
This work turned my attention fully towards plants and I saw a huge potential for exp loring relationshipswith the environment and investigating new ethics. Unable to remain honest in Russia, I left first for Istanbul and now Brussels. I am now studying at the Royal Academy of Arts on a Masters in Urban Space and developing my research on plant life against the backdrop of war and ethical crisis.
