ROOM:6.22
Lia Dostlieva
My primary areas of research include the issues of trauma, post-memory, commemorative practices, and agency and visibility of vulnerable groups. I am particularly interested in how trauma comes to language in the possibilities of representation of traumatic events and how “difficult knowledge” and “difficult past” can be described and visualized. I work across a wide range of media, including photography, installations, textile sculptures, and interventions into urban space.
