Iryna Loskot (UA)

Iryna Loskot (*2001) is a Ukrainian multidisciplinary artist. She graduated from the Kharkiv National University of Arts named after Kotlyarevsky with a degree in puppetry. Her practice explores the exploitation of the environment and resistance to this exploitation. In her works, Iryna creates a common space of memory for humans and non-humans. Her approach involves evoking empathy for non-humans by revealing their presence in the individual memory of a person. The artist aims to undermine the anthropocentric view through images of blurring the boundaries between human and non-human experiences: The 10th Triennial of Young Art “Sustaining” at the Museum of Contemporary Sculpture, Oronsko, “Greifbar” at Saarland Museum Modern Gallery, Saarbrücken, Germany (2023), PerformancePlatform Lublin 2023 festival at the Labyrinth Gallery, Lublin, Poland (2023), “Navigation 2023” at Jam Factory Art Center, Lviv, Ukraine (2023). In 2024, she was selected as a scholarship holder of the Presidential Scholarship Program for Young Artists.

The residency program is supported using public funding by the Slovak Art Council. The Slovak Art Council is the main partner of this project.
