Bio

I am a Polish, Berlin-based artist, researcher and 3D designer. My work is an exploration of visual storytelling, and involves animation, film, writing and model-making.

In my role as a researcher, I use visual storytelling to draw attention to systemic violence and human-rights abuses.

My art practice relies on speculative fictions and allegory to expose technological and visual biases, while bridging the domains of aesthetics, law, politics and feminism.

I have worked with Forensic Architecture, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, among other NGOs. My co-established research group Border Emergency Collective investigated and documented stories of migrating people at the Polish-Belarusian border. 

I was an artist in residence at Bauhaus Dessau Foundation in 2018 and at Akademie Schloss Solitude in 2024. My work has been shown at the Ars Electronica Festival, Warsaw Biennale, Kinema ICON in Bucharest, Haus Gropius in Dessau and deTour Festival in Hong Kong, among others.
