Nina Murashkina: From Mining Donbas to Global Festivals: The Story of a Fearless Artist

Listen on

The guest of this episode is Nina Murashkina, an artist whose practice blends the erotic magic of femininity with kitsch, naïve aesthetics, and contemporary art. In this conversation, she speaks about her journey from childhood in Donetsk to living and working between Ukraine and Europe, and how personal history, trauma, and desire shape her visual language, as well as why it is important to stay true to one’s style, even when it provokes resistance.

We discuss feminism and women’s rights, the body as both a political and sacred territory, stereotypes surrounding “women’s art,” her experience working with European galleries, cultural myths about artists, and the difference between recognition at home and abroad. This episode is about the courage to be yourself, the right to pleasure, and a voice that does not apologize for being loud, sensual, and unapologetically feminine.
