About My Work
My work investigates the role of a home in the creation of the post-Soviet condition, and asks how socio-economic and political change transformed both dwellings and public ideas about the home. . Despite the long-term presence of dwellings in the socio-spatial discourse, home is often seen as a secondary space to the production of social change. Unlike urban public spaces, the spatiality and architecture of homes have not received the amount of attention they deserve in the context of this socio-political transformation. While I am currently focused on the post-Soviet Eastern European cities, the method of studying socio-political change through the transformation of domestic environments can be applied worldwide.
