Sasha Solodukhina is a fabricator and award-winning filmmaker with a strong pull towards fantastical world-building. Her work centers on inviting new imagination to become kin to lost personal and collective mythology.

In her costuming, she pushes against the conventional boundaries of the body to craft larger-than-life pieces, often out of unconventional materials. This practice extends into her video work, in which she creates surreal worlds using texture, costume, and practical effects to subvert expectations and transport the audience into spaces that are beautiful but fleeting. In both, she builds a language specific to each piece, creating systems of material in order to transcend it.

Sasha’s interest in storytelling was born of a loss: the loss of personal history that comes with immigrating from a place whose collective memory is in dispute through oppression, omission, and revision. Born in Belarus, she often claims to be from Mars: an alien finding familiarity in the extraterrestrial, having to recollect her story through fragmented images, an incomplete chronology, and bodily memory. Her pull towards costuming is an inheritance, a thread picked up from her mother, who picked it up from her mother, who, likely, picked it up from many more before that.

Her first solo art exhibit, Illusions of Grandeur, opened at the Front in January of 2025.

Sasha is a graduate of Wesleyan University and is based in New Orleans.
