Daria Serenko

Daria Serenko is a feminist activist, poetess, and public artist. After graduating from the Maxim Gorky Literature Institute, she created Quiet Picket (#тихийпикет), a grassroots action whose participants carried placards on Russia’s urban transit systems to spark daily conversations about topics such as relationship violence and political imprisonment in public space. Serenko has organized support networks for women facing persecution and led solidarity projects such as Femdacha, a safe haven and resting space for activists. Her work has appeared in numerous Russophone publications and in English through the anthology F Letter: New Russian Feminist Poetry (isolarii, 2020).
