[~~ABOUT~~]

Daria Iuriichuk (b. 1992, Moscow) is an artist and educator based in Berlin. She works in the fields of visual and performance studies, with a particular focus on political dimensions of performativity, infrastructural critics and body politics within the various economic regimes. She is also a member and a co-founder of the media activist collective Kafe-Morozhenoe dealing with labour politics in art and academia.

Between 2017 and 2019 she worked as part of zh v yu dance group [with Natasha Zhukova & Katya Volkova], a collaboration of movement researchers. Together they created two dance performances, Landscape for a Dead Dog and The Garden, with a highlight on feminist perspectives on the epistemology of the body.

Since 2019 she worked as a choreographer for socially engaged theatre with a focus on collaborative work. Her theatre projects such as Caries of Capitalism and Locker Room Talk (both commissioned by the Meyerhold Theatre Center in Moscow), are informed by feminist critical theory and critical studies.

An important strand of her work is the focus on infrastructural critics and labour, first stated in the article How To Dance Politically (Moscow Art Magazine), developed in Caries of Capitalism theatre performance (the Meyerhold Theatre Center in Moscow), and then as a member and a co-founder (with Nastya Dmitrievskaya) of the Kafe-Morozhenoe, a media collective dealing with labour politics in art and academia in the post soviet contexts (collaborative research Radical Reveries commissioned by Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, and video work Sorry, but I Have To Interrupt You At This Point commissioned by Moscow Museum of Modern Art).

In 2023 she received Research Funding from the Fonds Darstellende Künste for the artistic research of the genealogy of the body tracking systems. In 2024 within Berlin Senate’s Fellowship-Programm "Weltoffenes Berlin" Daria develops her project on the political roles of the Erotics at Tanzfabrik Berlin BÜHNE.

Her performances have been presented in the Meyerhold Theatre Center (Moscow), ZIL Cultural Center (Moscow), SDVIG dance studio (Saint Petersburg), Hellerau Europäisches Zentrum der Künste (Dresden), MyWildFlag (Stockholm), Darağaç (Izmir). Her artworks have been presented in Garage Museum of Contemporary Art (Moscow), Moscow Museum of Modern Art (MMOMA, Moscow), The GES-2 House of Culture (V-A-C foundation, Moscow), neue Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst (nGbK, Berlin), Dotyk Queer Festival (Minsk), DOMIE art space (Poznań), H0 Institut für Metamorphose festival (Zürich). She has been an artist-in-residence at ZIL Cultural Center, the Meyerhold Theatre Center, the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, Pro Helvetia.

Daria holds a BA in art history (Moscow State University) and a master’s degree in Cultural Studies (Higher School of Economics, Moscow). She was a researcher in the Education department at the Pushkin State Museum and a member of a research group on mediality of perceptual experience in visual culture in the School of Cultural Studies. Besides research and performing, her practice also includes writing and teaching.
