Dana Kavelina is an artist and fimmaker originally from Melitopol. Before the full-scale invasion she was based in Kyiv/Lviv, Ukraine, but is currently living in Germany. Kavelina primarily works with animation and video, but also uses installation, painting, and graphics. Her practice often concerns military violence and war seen from a gender perspective, and addresses the position of the victim as a political subject as well as the distance between historical and individual trauma, memory, and misrepresentation. Her works have been exhibited at the Kristianstads Kunsthall, Sweden; Haus der Kunst, Munich; M HKA Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp, Belgium; Fridman Gallery, New York; and the Neue Galerie Graz, Austria. In 2022 Kavelina participated in the MoMA screening program “Notes from the Ground.”
