is an independent curator, art historian, and PhD researcher whose practice bridges theory, philosophy, and contemporary exhibition-making. Her work moves between physical and digital spaces, responding to the complexities of a constantly changing world.

She holds a PhD from the State Institute of Art Studies and studied art history at the Stroganov Moscow State Academy of Arts and Industry. Her projects often explore trauma, social memory, personal narratives, and the impact of cultural movements on contemporary artistic practice. For Orlova, the curatorial is "a way to fix our broken world" — a means of creating spaces that invite belief, reflection, and shared experience.

Her research focuses in particular on video art, memory, and narrative transformation: how time, recollection, and subjective interpretation shape visual storytelling in contemporary media. This interest runs through her video art project Memoryscape, which explored the fluid and mutable nature of memory — examining how personal narratives evolve through oral retelling, gaps in documentation, and selective remembrance, and how memory becomes an ephemeral, malleable construct. Through works addressing flashbacks, memory loss, vanishing landscapes, and the experience of being "lost in translation," Memoryscape created a reflective space where viewers encountered layered terrains of personal and collective memory.

Orlova has curated internationally, including projects for The Wrong Biennale (2023–2026), Irish video art programs, cross-cultural exhibitions between Ireland and Russia, and numerous institutional projects at the Russian State Art Library. Her research and writing have been published in the EVA London proceedings and on international academic platforms.

At the NÉA TÉCHNI Video Art Festival in Belgrade, she brings this depth of research and international dialogue into the field of video art, positioning the moving image as both a critical medium and a space of encounter. A comprehensive curatorial essay reflecting on the festival, its selection process, and the participating artists is in preparation.
