Darya Tsymbalyuk researchers, writes, and draws. Her work lies between intersectional environmental and decolonial approaches, and in her projects she engages stories and cultures from Ukraine. Born and raised in Ukraine, Darya received her PhD from the University of St Andrews in 2021. In August-September 2022, she was a Visiting Fellow at IWM (Institute for Human Sciences), Vienna, Austria. At the moment Darya is preparing a book manuscript for publication, in which she foregrounds more-than-human aspects of migration and war by focusing on human-plant relations in oral histories of people displaced from Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, Ukraine. Darya's writing has appeared in Nature; REGION: Regional Studies of Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia; Modern Languages Open; Open Democracy, and Environment & Society Portal, among other places, and together with Victoria Donovan, she is a co-author of a book "Limits of Collaboration: Art, Ethics, and Donbas". Together with a team, she is also working on a docufiction animation "Displaced Garden", which is based on her research, and which received funding from the Ukrainian State Film Agency. For Darya, research is multimodal practice, which consists of academic writing and artistic research (drawing and storytelling), and presents a decolonial approach to knowledge-making.
