Polina Stohnushko

Polina Stohnushko is a PhD Candidate at the University of Passau (Passau, Germany). In 2017-2019 she was a DAAD Scholar at the University of Tübingen (Tübingen, Germany). Her main research interest is graffiti with social and political messages on the case of Berlin. Within her dissertation she creates a digital graffiti archive based on a GIS approach. Additionally, she works on a new theoretical concept exploring graffiti as a multi-dimensional mirror of society in times of crises. Through her curatorial practice in the urban public space she critically reflects on societal problems through social scientific approaches using art as a medium. Working with urban fabrics of Berlin as a platform for public discussions and appearances she continues to call for local and international solidarity with Ukraine through politically and socially engaged art interventions.
