Nadya Sayapina

1989

An interdisciplinary artist, working in the field of socially engaged and community based  art, positioning herself as a mediator to reveals the voices of the "others"—those excluded, vulnerable, and traumatized. Presented in various forms such as multimedia, performance, installation, text, and fine art, her art strives to become a platform for highlighting the critical issues and discovering the profound social role of art. She employs methods of interviewing, surveys, data collection, and participatory and art-therapy practices, to articulate both the common and the unique within the polyphony of community experiences. She often uses the self/body as a powerful medium for her artistic expression.Through these methods, the artist aims to open pathways for self-reflection, overcome traumatic experiences and the cultivation of empathy.

Lives and works in Warsaw, Poland.
