Alicja Rogalska
Alicja Rogalska is an artist living in London and working internationally. Her practice is research-led, interdisciplinary, collaborative and focuses on social structures and the political subtext of the everyday. She mostly works in specific contexts creating situations, performances, videos, and installations. Her projects attempt to practice a different political reality here and now, create space for many voices to be heard and to co-exist, whilst collectively searching for emancipatory ideas for the future. Alicja graduated with an MFA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths College and an MA in Cultural Studies from the University of Warsaw. She was artist in residence at Museums Quartier in Vienna (2018), IASPIS in Stockholm (2017), MeetFactory in Prague (2016), National University of Colombia in Bogota (2014), Tate Britain (2011-12), attended the Home Workspace programme at Ashkal Alwan in Beirut (2013-14) and was an Artsadmin Bursary recipient in London (2016-17).
