She studied philosophy at the Faculty of Philosophy at the Voronezh State University, Department of Cultural Studies (2007), a master's degree in Cultural Studies at the Russian State University of the Humanities (2009) and is currently studying a PhD at Kingston University, CRMEP (London). Since 2009, she is the editor of Moscow Art Magazine (Khudozhestvennyizhurnal). As a researcher and activist, she participates in intense debates about precariousness. Her doctoral thesis deals with the philosophical problematization of precariousness in the context of the class discussions and modes of subjectivation proposed by Diderot, Hegel and Marx from the point of view of capitalist production. Her curatorial approach is based on micro-analyzes - historical and anthropological - of problems such as precariousness, daily life and social imagination. She held exhibitions such as "Care lend art Project" (Voronezh, Moscow, 2009-2010); "Precarious Life" (Moscow, 2011). She is currently working on an exhibition project titled "Understanding Conspiracy", in collaboration with historian and artist Ilya Budraitskis. Her texts have been published in magazines such as Moscow Art Magazine, Radical Philosophy, Mediation, Alfabeta 2.
