Yana Bachynska born in 1991 in Lviv, Ukraine is a visual artist, curator and film director whose practice focuses on queering grand narratives. He applies this approach to the range of topics, from sexuality through issues of family and national culture to architecture and collective memory. I use the method of induction, which means moving from individual experience to collective experience, trying to achieve wholeness within contradictions.
His films have been screened at Marseille’s International Film Festival, Ibrida Festival delle Arti Intermediali, International Video Art Forum in Dammam, and many more. After receiving a master’s degree in philosophy from the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, he received a master’s degree from the Art Academy of Szczecin. During that time Yana was also a co-founder of the NGO Art Platform and a senior researcher at the Kyiv history museum.
