Kristina Masyuk was born in the Republic of Belarus in 1987. She graduated from the International Institute of Labor and Social Relations with a degree in World Economy in 2011. She lives in Soligorsk, Republic of Belarus, and periodically in Moscow.
Her works are textile reliefs made of raw cotton, in which folds and seams form a distinctive plastic language, referring to the structures of traditional folk textiles — towels, homespun cloths, and hand stitches. The painstaking and ritualistic process of assembly reinterprets women’s labor as an act of creation and care, where the material becomes a carrier of the immaterial: memory, connection, and belonging.
