12 RUSSIAN WOMEN
artist's book
The book «12 Russian women» in the non-fiction genre is dedicated to women of the Russian diaspora, who moved abroad after Revolution in Russia in 1917, their adaptation to new conditions and self-realization in the post-revolutionary space.
There are a huge number of projects about people who have changed our world in the general cultural field, but the stories about Russian women among them are disparately less. The book tells about 12 outstanding personalities, Russian women, who greatly influenced the development of science and culture throughout the world.
Portraits are made in the technique of hand printing, acrylic, charcoal pencil
The book consists of 12 portraits and biographies and four inserts with comic-books 20x20 cm
Great thanks to my curator of the project Yulja Blucher and Maria Skaf for help in drafting texts. I am also grateful to Olga Barkova for the wonderful articles that inspired me to create the book.
