Kristina Sergeeva (1996) is a visual artist from St. Petersburg, Russia. Kristina’s artistic practice revolves around themes of collective trauma and personal perception of Russia’s current context. In her chosen themes, she emphasizes the transition from personal to universal understanding. Kristina predominantly works with the surrounding landscape and context of a place, its historical processes. For the last two years Kristina has been working on a long-term project that focuses on rethinking the Soviet legacy and its impact on Russia’s present, the identity Russia has developed over the last 30 years. Kristina also focuses on working with printing forms, self-publishing. At the same time, Kristina organizes the annual festival of zines and photobooks NIZINA FEST.
