Daria Golovkova (b. 2000, St Petersburg) is a visual artist and curator based in Moscow. A student of HSE Art & Design School, she works with a range of media, from printing to watercolour painting on fabric. In her practice, Golovkova explores such subjects as personal and collective memory/forgetting and nostalgia. She often uses her family archive in her project, experimenting with existing images, distorting and deconstructing them.
