Liza Pushkina is an artist from Moscow. In 2019, she entered the Moscow State Academic Art Institute named after V.I. Surikov in the painting department in the contemporary art workshop under the guidance of Aidan Salakhova.
After the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, she emigrated first to Georgia and then to Germany. Political motives had always been present in her art, but after the move they became fundamental. Lisa dedicated her work to actively combating the rhetoric of Russian propaganda, using art as a tool of resistance.
Since 2024, she continued her studies at the Higher School of Graphic and Book Art in Leipzig, specializing in painting and printmaking.
Nadezhda Ukhanova is a graphic designer and artist, born in Moscow, and has lived in Berlin for the last ten years. She has been working in the design industry for over twenty years.
Since late 2023, she has been creating anti-war art, addressing themes of freedom, choice and personal responsibility, using illustrations as a way to talk about what is really important. She has participated in international exhibitions in different countries.
