I'm a writer, curator, cultural producer, and communication strategist based between Berlin and Kyiv. I'm also the co-founder of Borshch magazine (2017–2022), which explores electronic music and the communities around it. The magazine laid the foundation for my current projects and collaborators.

I've collaborated with CTM Festival, BASSKÖSTER, ∄ (Kyiv's K41), Kantine am Berghain, Blitzkickers, WHITEvoid, and Nxt Museum. My writing has appeared in Resident Advisor, CTM Magazine, Mixmag, DTF Magazine, and extensively in Borshch.

As a speaker and moderator, I regularly contribute to discussions on underground culture and its socio-cultural impact at events including CTM, Nuits Sonores, Unsound, and Fiber. I share my expertise through teaching writing and artist communication. In collaboration with BASSKÖSTER, I work on community-focused initiatives supported by the Save The Night fund, including the documentary She Space Tbilisi and an upcoming film about Príncipe Discos in Lisbon.

From 2024 to 2026, I was in charge of Standard Deviation, the label of ∄. In 2024, I co-curated Echoes of the Earth, the residency initiated with ∄, which laid the foundation for Disturbed Ground — a transdisciplinary residency and performance program co-curated in 2025 with u2203, ∄, and CTM Festival. The project explores the environmental consequences of war in Ukraine. The works developed through these residencies continue to evolve through ongoing collaborations and presentations.

I'm currently developing The Unspoken, a prompt-based journal and workshop series, supported by the European Cultural Foundation. I'm also a co-founder of BumBumTamTam, a Kyiv-based party and community project celebrating Latin American and African-rooted dance music alongside body positivity.

I’m currently open for curatorial, production, and writing commissions at the intersection of art, sound, and culture.
