Elizaveta Yuzhakova is an art historian and cultural producer with extensive experience managing cultural events, publications, and digital initiatives. She specializes in large-scale projects, such as collection digitization, and is committed to the long-term preservation of contemporary culture. Her Ph.D. dissertation and subsequent monograph, published at the European University in St. Petersburg in 2021, revived a forgotten name of a Russian Art Nouveau artist Vassily Vladimirov (1880-1931). Her current interests focus on the preservation of contemporary artworks incorporating complex materials and digital components, as well as the ethical and intellectual property considerations that shape this field.

Elizaveta previously worked as Curator of Archive and Head of Publications for the Ural Industrial Biennial of Contemporary Art (2017–2021) and later gained time-based media conservation experience at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York (2022–2024). In 2026, she launched the Norton and Nancy Dodge Collection website at the Zimmerli Art Museum of Rutgers University in New Jersey. Her forthcoming residency at the Library of Congress as Kluge Fellow in Digital Studies will be devoted to art and artifacts of Flash-programmed net art of the early 2000s.
