Born and raised in Moscow, Russia, I am currently pursuing a degree in Social Studies, Studio Art, and Film at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA. My work experience includes museums, art education, art and film production, marketing, and publishing.

I worked at various art institutions, including Harvard Art Museums, Franklin Furnace, Pushkinsky State Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow Museum, and Multimedia Art Museum Moscow. I led fundraising efforts, spearheaded social media marketing campaigns, assisted theater and film production, helped to advance museum youth programs, and I am currently employed in the spheres of gallery teaching and publishing.

During my time at art institutions, I advanced my skills in public engagement, image-building, communication etiquette, community outreach, and art writing. As a publisher, I manage long-term projects, edit, fact-check, review the final product, crisis manage, and mind the financial operations of the publication. On top of that, my studies helped me to develop strong research skills, working with archives, interviews, quantitative data, and ethnographic materials.

I hope to apply these skills to assist art in serving social justice. I also explore this role of art practically by making art myself. 

As an artist, I am focused on the individual’s formation being affected by state violence and borders, migration, and biopower, and the individual’s response and resistance to it. I have exhibited my work at the Triumph Gallery in Moscow and performed at the Moscow Manege and Multimedia Art Museum Moscow.

I am open to all opportunities and will gladly find a way to apply my skills in any creative sphere. I am especially interested in serving in the curatorial sphere (particularly in modern and contemporary art), art mediation and education practices, publishing, and production of film and performance. 

I am hoping to prove myself helpful by promoting art as accessible, yet not dispensible, and assisting the relationship between the creatives, institutions, and audiences.
