In her curatorial practice, Ilona Dergach focuses on processual work with young artists, helping with conceptualising and formation of the exhibition view. She also works toward developing her artistic path through exploring the boundary between the personal transcendent experience of life and the proposed mythological structure of the community/society/government.
