Alevtina Kakhidze is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice encompasses performance, drawing, time-based media, curation and collaborative works. She investigates complex issues from consumerism to plant culture, from feminism to life in conflict zones. She is based in Muzychi, Ukraine, 26 kilometres from Kyiv. Having grown up in the Donetsk region of Ukraine, known for coal mining, she experienced Ukraine’s abrupt and chaotic shift from the days of the USSR to the imbalanced environment after, including the undeclared war between Russia and Ukraine that it is going on today. She remained in Ukraine after the full-scale invasion in 2022 and now describes the everyday impact of the death and destruction of the war on people who live in peace.
Alevtina Kakhidze was Dorothea Schlegel Artist-in-Residence in Research Area 4: "Literary Currencies" (March–July 2024) with the project All right?. She talked about All Good? (Based on Real Events) on Thursday, July 4, 6:45–7:30 PM with an introduction by Susanne Strätling.
