About Dr. Aleksandra Igdalova

Dr. Aleksandra (Sasha) Igdalova studies how different ways of looking at art influence our experience and what can be done to make that engagement more meaningful and beneficial. She collaborates with museums and galleries to investigate how practices like slow looking, mindfulness, and guided discussion affect perception, well-being, and aesthetic appreciation. Sasha completed her PhD in Psychology at Goldsmiths, University of London, where she conducted large-scale experimental studies on art engagement in real-world settings. An advocate for closer interdisciplinary collaboration between the arts and sciences, she leads workshops on slow looking, co-production practices, and knowledge exchange between researchers and art professionals.
