Anastasiia Lodde/32 years/she

b. 1993 Rostov region, Russia
Lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark

Anastasiia Lodde is a Copenhagen-based artist with a background in genetics. Born in a small village in southern Russia, she transitioned from a decade-long scientific career to full-time art after emigrating to Denmark. Her work explores identity, memory, and resilience through a postmigrant lens, using metaphor and recurring symbols - fish, bicycles, and Soviet-era objects - to reflect on displacement, trauma, and cultural continuity. Through painting, installation, and performance, she investigates the ethics of invention and the inheritance of memory. Her projects weave these layers into poetic visual narratives that question what we choose to preserve - biologically, culturally, and morally - in times of crisis.
