Nataliya Tchermalykh is a visual anthropologist and socio-legal scholar working at the intersection of art, politics, and law, with a long-term focus on Eastern Europe and Ukraine. Her research explores how images, artistic practices, and material landscapes shape political contestation, and forms of dissent, particularly in contexts of war and social transformation. She is the recipient of the European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant for the project ICONS: Exploring Global Iconoclastic Politics in the 21st Century. She is the author of Shifting Landscapes: An Anthropology of Art and War (Toronto University Press, forthcoming) and editor of Subversive Intrusions: How Activist Interventions Redefine the Museum.
