The residency is a collaoration between ISSP and Kuš and has been generously supported by State Culture Capital Foundation of Latvia. Olga is a multidisciplinary artist. She graduated from the Lviv Academy of Arts (2018) and the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in Kyiv (2020) with a degree in restoration. Her early practice included restoration work in temples and museums, including an internship at Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra (2019). Since 2019, Olga has curated @thesteinstudio, an artist-run space. Since the full-scale invasion, she has participated in international residencies and exhibitions, with solo shows in Paris (2022), London (2023), Odessa (2024), and Frankfurt (2024). In 2024, she co-founded the platform BY TEXT for critical writing on contemporary Ukrainian art. Olga explores innovative materials such as eco-fabrics from mushrooms, kombucha-based sculpture, and real mother-of-pearl. Her work also engages with taxidermy in art, focusing on the political, ethical, and cultural aspects of trophy practices. * 1 * 2 * 1 * 2 2025 Artist Residency in Riga 2025 Artist Residency for Ukrainian Artists Built with [Berta.me](http://www.berta.me/ "Create your own website with Berta.me in minutes!") 1 / 2
