Maria Kapajeva (she/her) is an artist working and exhibiting internationally. Through her practice, she engages borderlands as a site of identity and gender, foregrounding lives shaped by transition and displacement, and bringing peripheral stories to the centre. Kapajeva’s multidisciplinary practice spans found and vernacular photography, video installation, textile and embroidery, and participatory work. She is currently a recipient of a three-year artist salary from the Estonian Ministry of Culture and is completing a practice-based PhD at the Estonian Academy of Arts. Her research asserts border positionality as a method, developed and tested through artistic practice.
