About the Artists

Born in Odesa, Ukraine in 1999, Dasha Chechushkova is a non-media artist whose practice centers on creating situations, relational art, and total installations. After studying at the College of Arts named after Mitrofan Grekov (2014–2018), Chechushkova entered the National Academy of Arts in Kyiv, later shifting from graphics to the theory and history of art (2018–2023). Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, she has lived in Lviv and now resides in Kyiv. Her work explores trauma, memory, monuments, liminality, imitation, and the idea of ‘honouring tradition’.

Chechushkova’s work can be seen on Instagram and Behance.

This artist residency programme has been launched by The British Council, in partnership with Arts Council England, Creative Scotland and Arts Council of Wales/Wales Arts International, in order to support artists and cultural professionals whose work has been impacted by war and conflict. The programme will see nine artists and cultural professionals from Lebanon, Yemen, Palestine, and Ukraine undertake residencies at leading cultural institutions across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
