Tania Bakum

Ukraine

Biography

Interdisciplinary artist whose practice integrates analog photography, performance, textiles, mosaic, and alternative printing techniques, often working with found materials and objects charged with memory. Her work explores intergenerational trauma, feminism, social taboos, and the experience of war, situating itself at the intersection of traditional techniques and experimental processes based on the destruction and transformation of materials. Her methodology is linked to ritual practices and to ongoing material research. She has exhibited in Poland, Belgium, Slovakia, Italy, Ukraine, and Austria. She holds a degree in Economics and studied photography at the Kyiv School of Photography and at the AGORA School in Spain, in addition to taking part in artistic development programs such as SKVOT in Kyiv. Alongside her artistic practice, she teaches workshops in analog photography and printing in Poland and Ukraine. In 2023 she received support from UNICEF and the Institute of Urban Culture for workshops in Gdańsk, and in 2024 she received the City of Gdańsk Cultural Scholarship and co-curated the Port Art residency at the MEWKA Foundation.
