Oksana Schatschko ( Ukrainian Оксана Шачко , born January 31, 1987 in Khmelnyzkyj , Ukrainian SSR , Soviet Union ; found dead on July 23, 2018 in Montrouge near Paris , France ) was a Ukrainian artist and Femen activist. She was - together with Hanna Huzol and Alexandra Shevchenko - one of the founders of the feminist group in April 2008 .

Life and accomplishments

Oksana Schatschko studied art and art history and hoped to run his own art gallery one day. In 2008 she was among the founders of Femen who wanted to bring the interests of female students to the then ongoing student protests in Ukraine. Their themes soon evolved into protest against the sexual abuse of Ukrainian women and against sex tourism .

Femen initially attracted attention by holding demonstrations wearing only underwear. Shachko was the first to bare her breasts at a protest in Kiev in August 2009 . This was the invention of Femen 's since then widespread advocacy of women's and human rights across Ukraine and eventually worldwide.

In 2011 , after a protest in the Belarusian capital Minsk against President Aljaksandr Lukashenka , she and Inna Shevchenko and another Femen activist were kidnapped by KGB intelligence officers , threatened with burns, sheared and ultimately naked and doused in oil exposed to a forest.

Schatschko wrote a book on the history of Femen with the French author Galia Ackerman, which was published in 2013 by Calmann-Lévy-Verlag. In 2014, Je suis Femen (Ich bin Femen), an award-winning documentary by filmmaker Alain Margot about Oksana Schatschko, was released.

The French state granted her political refugee status in 2013. Since 2015 she has lived as a painter in Paris. On July 23, 2018, she was found dead after suicide in her apartment in the Paris suburb of Montrouge.

art

Since moving to Paris, Schatschko has concentrated on her artistic production, which she called Iconoclast , based on iconoclasm : Orthodox visual art painted in the traditional way, in which she incorporated disturbing details in order to confront religious dogmas with feminist, political or humanist messages . She had her first solo exhibition in May 2016 at the Mansart Gallery in Paris.
