Anya Lamochenko

Artist

Anya Lomachenko (b. 2004, Kyiv, Ukraine) is a multidisciplinary artist and activist working in Chicago. Her installations, ceramics, performances, and sculptural pieces explore themes of identity, displacement, and restoration of memory. Her research interests include the intersections of personal and collective remembrance, the spectrum between the civil and the military, the amplification of Ukraine’s voice abroad, and the decolonization of its cultural image. Through her practice, she challenges colonial narratives, advocating for a self-determined Ukrainian identity on the global stage.
