Bio
Olesia Dalakova is an artist, performer, curator, and journalist. In her practice, she works with the body, sound, and memory, exploring how personal and social experiences can be processed through performance. Her practice combines artistic work with research, writing, and curatorial work.
In September 2026, she took part in the “Safe(r) Spaces” artistic residency. As part of the process, she co-created a site-specific performance.
Alongside her artistic practice, she develops her work as a curator. In September 2026, she curated “CENIE I”, an exhibition combining painting and performance. In January 2026, she curated “W ZWIERCIADLE MŁODOŚCI”, a photography exhibition, and in December 2025, “PÓŁNOCNY SĄSIAD”, a graphic exhibition exploring war, memory, and her experience as Ukrainian.
Her practice brings together art, research, and activism. She is interested in how social and political experiences actually shape us. Alongside her artistic and curatorial work, she also writes about culture and contemporary art. Voice and sound are an important part of her practice, both in performance and as a way of creating connection with others.
