ZINAIDA

ZINAIDA (Ukraine) is one of the most Ukrainian important artists working today. Stemming from extensive ethnographic research and close collaboration with indigenous communities, ZINAIDA's practice revolves around the study of mythologies, national symbols, archaic imagery, and the role of women as carriers of sacred knowledge. Her research journeys in different regions in Ukraine aim to study and preserve cultural heritage. ZINAIDA leads volunteer initiatives and carries out philanthropic activities in Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. She additionally founded the ARTREHUB Volunteer Initiative and developed her Red Thread methodology for children with special needs and autism disorders.

Zinaida is a national cultural figure for Ukraine. Over the last fifteen years, she has summarized, documented and interpreted contemporary Ukrainian society through her work. Zinaida’s works have become an important and seminal influence for all the contemporary Ukrainian artists. - Dallas Contemporary Executive Director Peter Doroshenko

The artist has been featured in solo exhibitions at Pinchuk Art Centre (2015, Kyiv, Ukraine), Black Bride projects at the 56th Venice Biennale, and Dakini at the 58th Venice Biennale. ZINAIDA participated in the Art Lima Contemporary Art Fair (Lima, Peru), Art Kyiv Contemporary International Forum of Contemporary Art, and GOGOLFEST Interdisciplinary Festival. She received her BA from the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in Fine Art and Art History, as well as a BA in Psychology from National University of Kyiv. She is a member of the Food of War International Community. In 2015, she was a project facilitator at Marina Abramovic - In Residence (Kaldor Public Art Project, Sydney, Australia).

Zinaida subtly balances her work at the juncture of historical symbolism and modernity. She uses traditional imagery, rituals and crafts to convey meanings that are relevant to a vibrant and fluid culture. … Zinaida is a rebel. She was in many dangerous zones, (on Maidan during the Revolution of Dignity, Chornobyl, in the war zone in the Eastern Ukraine) …To me she is like a Ukrainian “Guerilla Girl”. — Marina Abramović
