Biography
Drozd was born in 1982 in Lviv, then part of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic,[1] and as an adolescent later emigrated to the United States.[2] Drozd received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Computer Graphics and Interactive Media from Pratt Institute in 2006,[3][4] then attended the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts, where she earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in Film/Video in 2015.[5][4]
Drozd's early works were single and two channel animation and video. For Smack Mellon's 2015 show Respond, Drozd contributed Humane Restraint, a video installation which art critic Jillian Steinhauer said "mashes up cheery instructional videos from mental hospitals and police forces that teach viewers how to properly restrain people . . . [and hinges] brilliantly on the point at which humor quietly swings into seriousness."[6] In that same year, she received a new work grant from the Eastern State Penitentiary for a two-channel video installation called Institute of Corrections,[7] and was a BRIC Media Arts Fellow.[8] In 2016, she was a Fall/Winter 2016-2017 artist resident for the Studios at MASS MoCA,[9] and her piece Solipsism was included in CIM, an exhibition of seven contemporary Ukrainian-American Artists.[10] In 2017 she was a Bronx Museum of the Arts AIM Fellow,[11] with her installation piece subsequently included in that year's Bronx Museum Biennial.[12] In 2017, Drozd had a solo show at Lubov (a gallery in Manhattan), called Soon enough Roads will be Rivers.[13]
