I work on performance art and corporeality in post-socialist contexts, with a focus on contemporary Russian and Chinese art and film/digital practices.  I have a BA from Smith College and MA degrees from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Central European University, Budapest. Originally from Estonia, I was the founding editor of Gallery Guide, a bilingual art magazine in Beijing, and my writing has appeared in Leap, Art Margins, ArtSlant, Randian and Utah Foreign Language Review. I am a practicing artist.  www.darjafilippova.com
