Anna Scherbyna
(b. 1988, Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine) is an artist, curator, and filmmaker based in Berlin. Working across video, drawing, and painting, she explores trauma, dreams, gender performativity, and violence through a critical and often collaborative lens. Her practice frequently questions how power and knowledge are distributed, drawing on the subconscious as a space of resistance.
She studied at the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in Kyiv and completed postgraduate studies in the Expanded Cinema class at the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig.
Collective work plays a central role in her practice. As part of various curatorial groups, Scherbyna has organized How Do We Turn Salt Into Sugar? (Berlin, 2023), the Chytanka reading club (since 2020), the international feminist exhibition The Cave of the Golden Rose (Kyiv, 2019), and Saber, Deer and Spinning Wheel (Stanytsia Luhanska, 2018).
She has also contributed to educational initiatives, including working with neurodivergent youth and adults in the Workshop of Possibilities and leading mini-courses for children and teenagers as part of the Summer School at PinchukArtCentre (Kyiv, 2019-2021), as well as teaching a Realistic Drawing for Beginners course at the School of Visual Communication (Kyiv, 2017).
