My name is Anastasiia and I came to France for the art residency. Right now I’m working on the exhibition with my friends. And also I’m making a sound documentary about Buryad contemporary art.

I’m a curator, producer, sound documentarian and artist. I’ve been living in South Korea for 2 years.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’m glad to make some creative projects about my people. I’m from Buryatia, it’s a region of Russia.
Buryads are the indigenous people of Russia.

2 years ago, I studied sound documentary at the ENS Louis-Lumière school. Then I made my first sound documentary about the of surrealist artists in Paris.
