Polina Isurin is a two-time immigrant who has exhibited domestically and abroad. Originally from Leningrad (St. Petersburg), Russia, she lived in Israel before coming to the United States with her parents. Her cross-cultural and bilingual upbringing influence her exploration into how the sites and remnants of memories structure culture, society, and identity. She is interested in the relationship between memory and in-between spaces. Polina's interdisciplinary art practice has always been dependent upon utilizing the medium most appropriate for the concept. Additionally, Polina has been teaching visual art courses to middle, high school, and college level students since 2012. She is both committed and interested in how a creative and pedagogical practice can coexist.
