Dasha Buben (1982) was born in Gomel, Belarus. In 2010, she graduated from the Belarusian State Academy of Arts. She worked as a photographer and art director for several independent magazines focusing on social issues, feminism, and LGBTQ rights. Due to her activism and involvement in independent media, she felt unsafe under the Belarusian regime and relocated.

After the significant protests in Belarus in 2020, abstraction became the primary form of her artistic expression. Her artistic research shifted towards emotions, physiological states, trauma recovery, and mental health. She utilizes painting, drawing, and other mediums such as light, text, photography, installations, and embroidery. She has held solo exhibitions in Vienna and Warsaw and has participated in group shows in Belarus, Ukraine, Germany, India.
