Kristina Petrasova

I was born in Moscow and moved to the Netherlands in 1991, just before the first coup.

Here I saw that belonging to just one culture is a degradation for someone with more than one. I decided that I rather be uncomfortable than to choose where I belong best. So now I feel uncomfortable most of the time. This makes me awake and aware.
Russia is still very important to me, so are Netherelands. I have Belgian and Russian nationalities.

I see my personal history as an example for living and a source of creativity of life.
I am nothing and I am a lot: I do not have one profession and I do not have a profession at all.
The only professional focus in my life is art.
I studied Museology, Art Hostory and study currently at Gerrit Rietveld Academy.
At the moment I work with The One Minutes Foundation, where I coordinate the City One Minutes project.
I also teach at Museum De Paviljoens and I am a translator Russian to Dutch.
From to time to time I initiate projects, but the real big thing is still to come...
