Daria Goncharova
Daria Goncharova is a Russian-born interdisciplinary artist whose practice explores the intersection of language, social structures and documents. She has been in exile since 2022 and currently lives in Belgrade, Serbia, where she is actively involved in the local art community. With a background in civil engineering from the University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (2011-2015), she also graduated from the Joseph Backstein Institute of Contemporary Art in 2024.
Her work, rooted in research-based methodologies, explores themes of identity through the prism of various bureaucratic processes, as well as processes of interaction with everyday life. She has participated in various residencies each year since 2021. In 2024 she was awarded the Goethe Institute's "Culture Moves Europe" grant, which supports her ongoing exploration of liminal spaces.
Her work has been exhibited in Switzerland, Portugal, Serbia, Germany, Finland, Montenegro, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan and Russia.
She has participated in numerous educational programmes as a laboratory and collaborator, continually expanding her exploration of how art can mediate social transformation.
