Fedora Akimova is a mixed-media artist specializing in installations, video, and objects. In her work, she often incorporates various textile practices such as embroidery and sewing, as well as found objects and ready-mades.
Fedora Akimova was born in 1987 in Kyiv. Since March 2022, she has been living and working in Tbilisi (Georgia) and Paris.

Before February 24, her work consisted of plastic experiments that explored global civilizational and philosophical questions, embodying a form of escapism into a hypothetical world without humanity. The full-scale invasion, forced relocation, and the disruption of her daily life prompted her to reconsider her identity and artistic strategy. This led to a reinvention of her artistic language and the inclusion of more politically and socially engaged themes in her work.
