Marina Israilova studied Art History at the European University at Saint Petersburg (2014-2016) and Russian Literature at the Kemerovo State University (2004-2009). She worked, individually and collectively, on various projects as an interdisciplinary researcher, independent curator, art critic, editor, and teacher. Her research interests include performance art, public art, self-organized initiatives, artist-run spaces, translocal connections in contemporary art, feminist ethics, ethnography, and epistemology.
