Born in Moscow but raised in Vancouver, BC, she moved to Copenhagen in 2014 where she honed her career in journalism and creative strategy after years of co-running galleries and writing about art and music in Canada. As part of that, she’s held positions such as Online Editor of Noisey (VICE’s music platform), Managing Editor of female-focused media Girls Are Awesome and Copywriter at design studio THANK YOU. As an intersectional feminist, Polina ensures that everything SPACE10 releases into the world reflects an inclusive, anti-colonialist, motivating and journalistically-sound approach to research and communication. Outside of SPACE10, Polina has spent the past year volunteering for the Sexelance—a mobile safe space for street-based sex workers in Copenhagen. She also loves wine, techno, linen blouses and yoga.
