About

Dee Vasilevskaia is a graduate of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie (2018), a graphic designer and artist based in Amsterdam. She frequently collaborates with practitioners across disciplines, art spaces, and cultural initiatives, creating visual identities for exhibitions, events, and art publications. Her artistic practice bridges typographic experimentation and writing in the form of news- and love letters, exploring ways of presenting text in both digital and physical contexts. Dee develops event concepts that extend her interest in language, collaboration, and the performative potential of text.
