Nadezda Bakuradze was born in Moscow in 1973. She majored in journalism at the Moscow State University.

For many years, Bakuradze worked at the DOM cultural center in Moscow, the famous Moscow venue for avant-garde art. From 1999 to 2004 she served as the visual arts curator, realizing many exhibitions as well as screenings of various video and video-art compilations. From 2004 to 2006 she worked as an art director of DOM, helping to realize music festivals such as the Long Arms festival (new culture), Alternativa festival (avant-garde music), ETNA festival (world music), and more.

In 2000 together with Andrey Silvestrov and Pavel Labazov she founded the art community for film directors and script writers – the Videodom Studio. In 2001 she has filmed her first documentary short “All Girls are Dump” which was screened at many Russian and international festivals.

Besides the projects that Bakuradze has realized with DOM, in 2002 together with partners from the Videodom studio she started a new project - the International Kansk Video Festival in Siberia, which became the first festival in Russia dedicated to low- and no-budget video, and from then on she has served as an art-director of the Festival as well.
