Olga Timurgalieva is a PhD candidate at City University of Hong Kong and a former visiting researcher at King's College London. Awarded by the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme, her doctoral project investigates the intersections of contemporary art, microbiology, and ecocriticism. In particular, she focuses on fungal microbes in art and their interspecies relations. Olga has published her writing in Performance Research, Taboo-Transgresstion-Transcendence Conference Proceedings, and several zines. She shared her work at several symposiums, including the conferences of the Association of the Study of Literature and Environment (2021), the UK Association for Art History (2022), and the Arts & Humanities Festival of Research at King's College London (2022). In 2021, Olga chaired a panel "Interspecies Research and Becoming Animal" at Art Machines Symposium (Hong Kong) and co-organized the conference "Art and Critical Ecologies: Multiscalar Engagements" where she convened a panel on "Art and Microbial Worlds" (Taipei). Since February 2022, Olga has been working with biotechnologist PhD Patricia Moreira and designer Eva Direito on a book titled Yeast as We Don't Know Them devoted to human-yeast entanglements.
