CULTURE SHOCK REMEDIES

Katia Silkova was born in Russia, raised in Ukraine and migrated to Melbourne with her family in 1996. Katia's art practice spans across painting, photography, sculpture and site-specific installation, engaging with notions of time, place and cultural identity.

In Culture Shock Remedies, I will further investigate the influences of my cross-cultural experiences on my changing place making practices. I will use The Cupboard space as an essential aspect for a site-specific installation, which will indicate an emerging sense of place and belonging influenced by merging cultures and environments.
