Anastasia Sinitsyna

Anastasia Sinitsyna is a researcher and curator working at the intersection of environmental humanities, design, and spatial practices. Based in Venice, Italy, she leads the Aral Sea region development projects of the Uzbekistan Art and Culture Development Foundation (ACDF), including the Aral Culture Summit, Aral School, and revitalisation of the Istiqlol Park — long-term initiatives dedicated to cultural and ecological regeneration in Central Asia.

Since 2022, she has also led communications and public engagement for the Uzbekistan National Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, shaping its local presence and cultural partnerships. Her work builds bridges between culture, science, and public engagement, focusing on how art and education can inspire sustainable futures.

Rooted in media and urban studies, and shaped by experiences in documentary filmmaking in Mexico, The Terraforming programme at Strelka Institute, and a master’s in Environmental Humanities at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, she previously curated the Foodscapes residency and public programme for the Spanish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale (2023).
