Olga Shurygina

Olga Shurygina is a multimedia artist. She works between Russia and Uzbekistan. In her practice, Olga relies on the concept of Karl Rogers, who disputes the barbaric anti-humanity of mankind, predetermined at the genetic level. The artist turned to the traditional female symbols and the role of women in modern society through the lifestyle and profession of her grandmother, who for her entire life worked as the main fabric artist in the silk factory in Margilan, Uzbekistan. The basis was the idea of such stigmatization of “female”, common for both Russia and Uzbekistan, as: traditional women's crafts and symbols.
