Since 2015, she has been involved in the production of the Ural Industrial Biennial of Contemporary Art. For the 4th and 5th editions of the Biennial she worked as general coordinator of the Main project and as assistant curator for Image as Witness / Capitalist Choreographies / the Persistent Word by João Ribas and For a Multitude of Futures: Overcome the Limits of Immortality by Xiaoyu Weng. 
Biennial’s special project MZhK-1980 Masha together with her co-curator Lyudmila Starostova has initiated in 2017. The project investigates the Youth Residential Complex — a social experiment that was implemented in Ekaterinburg in the 1980s. It aims to build historiography of the experiment and its present impacts on the inhabitants of the Complex. The exhibition A Place on Earth, that Masha curated within the project is looking into modernist housing experiments and evolving around strategies for self-organization amongst communities. MZhK-1980 also has produced research exhibitions, performative and public programs.
