My name is Anna Kin, I'm a research-driven artist and manager of cultural projects based in Almaty, Kazakhstan. My practice addresses commemorative memory, displacement, ecology and the post-colonial shift of cultures in Central Asia, the Caucasus, the Baltic and Balkans. Recently I was working in the fields of socially engaged art, sonic art, radio practices and performance.

As a third-generation descendant of Volga Germans and Zaporizhian Ukrainians who were resettled to Kazakhstan, I  work with representatives of diasporas whose histories have been shaped by administrative exile, special resettlement, or the agrarian repressions of the Soviet Empire.

To engage with Kazakhstan's complex historical context through languages, traditions, and the rethinking of the region's colonial past, I employ political imagination—metaphorical thinking, scenography, self-archiving through new media, and its activation through immersive installations.
