Alicja Rogalska is an artist based between
London and Warsaw. Her
practice is interdisciplinary and encompasses both research and production with a focus on social structures and the
political subtext of the everyday. She
mostly works in context on projects that involve participation and creating situations, often influenced by her background in anthropology and in collaboration with
other people brought to the project for
their particular skill or expertise. These events
and ephemeral moments act as catalysts for collective questioning, imagining, reflecting and testing
different ways of being together. Being
both rooted in a context and speculative, her projects explore the space between what already exists and what
is possible.
Alicja is a recipient of Artsadmin's Bursary
2016-17 for artists working in
contemporary performance practices and a member of several artist-led collectives and cooperatives. She graduated
with an MFA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths
College, University of London and an MA in Cultural
Studies from the University of Warsaw.
