ZOA ART

Contemporary artist from St. Petersburg Aleksandra Kachko.

live and work in Tbilisi since 2024.

In 2009, graduated from Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering with a degree in architecture. Later, in 2014–2015, I studied at the School of Engaged Art by Chto Delat.

Since 2010, my artistic practice has included street art, contemporary art, drawing, collage, and feminist embroidery as a form of art.

My work explores themes deeply connected to personal and collective experiences: feminism, domestic violence, political activism in Russia, intimacy, honesty, the challenges of adulthood, and the complexities of life and death.

For me, feminism is a framework for creating safe spaces—a lens through which I explore joy, love, happiness, sorrow, injury, violence, and irony. My art is both a reflection of lived experience and a means of engaging with the world around me, seeking to navigate the contradictions of War and Peace with sensitivity and courage.
