Nastia Hrychkovska is a neurodivergent queer artist, born in 2003 in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine. In 2024, Nastia received a bachelor's degree in Cultural Studies from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. In the beginning, Nastia's practice was connected to theatre. In Kyiv (2020–2022), their focus shifted to feminist arts, gender studies, queer and anarchist activism.
After the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Nastia moved to Berlin, Germany. Here, they began to re-discover their identity and became engaged in projects connected to disability, neurodivergence, and caring arts. They are working with children, trying to co-create welcoming spaces that embrace marginalized features—such as stimming—as a form of art, and practicing non-hierarchical and non-linear methodologies.
Nastia has participated in and co-curated exhibitions and events, co-created zines, and co-organized various workshops. Among many mediums, Nastia works with textiles, poetry, and prints. Their practice is a place for sharing.
In the future, Nastia would like to continue working with children and young people. As a Ukrainian, they are interested in building solidarities with other peoples affected by colonization and imperialism. As a disabled queer person, Nastia wants to make spaces more accessible and caring. They want to help bring different struggles and contexts together, because they believe that it's the only way to survive now.
