hi, my name is Katya Ceppel. I describe myself as a project & program manager for cultural, educational and media initiatives.

I manage cross-functional educational initiatives connecting product, communications, partnerships and offline experiences.

I'm now based in Tbilisi, Georgia.

I have 8+ years of experience, launching education, media and cultural initiatives that help organizations bring products, ideas and educational programs to new audiences.

I've been working with Yandex Education, Winzavod Foundation for Contemporary Art, HSE ART AND DESIGN SCHOOL, Museum of Moscow, Public Digital Art Fund, etc.

I founded and continue to lead ODRA, an independent publishing platform connecting artists, writers and researchers across Eastern Europe and Central Asia, building an international contributor network.

In 2021, I defended my MA thesis Psychogeography in Digital Art in the Visual Media Arts program at RSUH (Moscow). In 2018, I graduated from Plekhanov Russian University of Economics with a thesis A Communication Strategy for Urban Museums.

I am inspired by people, ideas, and projects that are driven by meaning and create real value for the world around us. As a manager, I focuse on culture and education — two fields, I believe, are capable of shaping creative environment and bring people together. Art and new approaches to education can change lives for the better.
