Natalija Gucheva

Natalija Gucheva (she/they) is a visual artist and curator with a focus on performance and installation practices. She recently graduated with a Master’s degree in Visual Arts from KASK & Conservatorium in Ghent. Her visual practice explores the intersection of social politics and emotional embodiment, examining how personal experience shapes collective narratives through the integration of feminist and queer care practices.

Gucheva’s creative process involves constructing speculative environments where communal bonding contributes to a sustained healing journey, emphasizing the connection and interdependence between communities and their non-human counterparts.

Her curatorial practice shares this holistic perspective, organizing gatherings such as workshops, reading groups, and material exchanges that address contemporary urgencies within the framework of her ongoing project, The Kinship Cookbook. These events are designed to foster collective care and offer a platform for envisioning alternative futures.

An internship at Kunsthal Gent over the past year has significantly expanded Gucheva’s curatorial strategies and understanding of institutional ethics—topics she is keen to explore further within the Curatorial Studies program.
