Elena Rabkina

1989

Photo documentary and interactive artist, who combines her artistic, journalistic, and psychological background to create interactive pieces in the field of artistic research, social illustration and public art. Elena explores and documents the immaterial story of people, things and places, and contemplates on the topic of the current events and the role of communities in them. Her artworks have social commentary and reflect on mental health, migration and community building.

Elena’s works were exhibited at National Center for Contemporary Arts of Belarus, SÜDBAHNHOF fotografische Werke, Mark Rothko Art Center in Latvia, Dnipro Center for Contemporary Culture, Ars Electronica in Austria, Pakhuis de Zwijger in Netherlands. Being a forced migrant due to political repressions in Belarus and later war in Ukraine, Elena is currently based in Europe and continues to use her art as a means of social commentary and activism.

Apart from being an artist, Elena is a social activist, co-organizer of Urban and Art Festival Vulica Brasil and collaborator with NPO “Journalists for Tolerance”, “ABF”, “New Regions”, “New Faces” (Belarus), Red Cross (Ukraine), Fundacja Innowacyjnej Edukacji, Solidarity FemCenter (Poland), European Humanitarian University (Lithuania), Austrian League of Human Rights (Austria).
