Translating Inner Worlds Into Space with Lidia Russkova-Hasaya
In this episode of Women United ART PODCAST, we welcome Lidia Russkova-Hasaya, a Georgian-Russian interdisciplinary artist and director whose work transcends the boundaries of form, space, and geography. Through sculpture, sound, video, and immersive installations, Lidia transforms personal history, displacement, and emotion into tangible, sensory experiences — a language she calls “Emotional Architecture.”
From the luminous door of Portal during the opening of the Venice Architecture Biennale to the introspective Homesick and Unfolding, Lidia explores belonging, vulnerability, and transformation, turning materials like glass, neon, and metal into metaphors for resilience. Drawing from her theatre background and personal experiences of denied citizenship, she creates worlds where fragility becomes strength and architecture becomes a vessel for emotion.
Join us as we dive deep into Lidia’s journey, exploring the intersections of theatre, memory, and materiality. We discuss her unique approach to post-geographic spaces, the role of sound in her immersive installations, and how art can serve as both therapy and collective ritual. Lidia shares insights for artists navigating emotional authenticity, conceptual ambition, and the thresholds of creativity across disciplines and borders.
Whether you’re an artist, curator, or simply curious about how art can translate the most intimate human experiences into space and light, this episode invites you to witness how emotion can be built, not just felt.
