EKATERINA DANILYAN
Ekaterina Danilyan (b. 1993, Krasnodar, Russia) is a cultural anthropologist and documentary photographer. She studied Theory and History of Culture and worked as a research associate at the Kovalenko Art Museum, where she curated exhibitions and developed educational projects. Since her student years she has been engaged in anthropological fieldwork in southern Russia and the North Caucasus, where photography became an integral part of her practice.
Coming from an Armenian diaspora family marked by the memory of displacement and genocide, she explores themes of memory, exile, and liminal spaces — places of estrangement, transition, and cultural intersection. Through field research and photography, she investigates how collective trauma, migration, and the absence of home continue to shape everyday life in the Caucasus, South of Russia, the Middle East, and beyond.
