'Should I Help Or Should I Wonder'
performance, 2024
Gotheburg Biennale, Gothenburg
Galeria Municipal, Porto
Cricoteca, Cracow
video documentation
The work presents femininity as a choreographic series of actions, reflecting on identity as a hybrid concept. Throughout the performance, it reveals various strategies for grounding the queer body. It emphasizes also how identities are provisionally arranged through the different performances we engage in throughout our lives. The work was originally presented during a party organized by a queer-feminist collective ‘kem’ with which I regularly collaborate.
'Different Figures In The Same Character'
Foksal Gallery Foundation
Hotel Warszawa Art Fair
performance and installation, 2023
(with Agata Słowak)
video documentation
This durational performance, presented in a hotel room, explores the fluidity of queerness—a concept that defies singular definition and is constantly evolving. The piece juxtaposes my identity with that of Carrie Bradshaw, a once-relevant icon of pop culture now fading into obsolescence. It also reflects on the transformation of the canon of femininity through queer emancipation.
'Woman of... Black Coal'
Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw
Open'er Festival in Gdynia
performance, 2024
curator; Łukasz Ronduda
dramaturgy: Joanna Pawluśkiewicz
"The Woman Of... Black Coal" is a story told from the perspective of a queer woman who, through the prism of sexuality, reveals various techniques for overcoming barriers and limitations imposed by others. The performance takes the form of a stand-up comedy, where various biographical elements are mixed in an explosive way. Miners, the world of art, the Silesian dialect, non-binary speech and the party life of Warsaw... a free-for-all, or perhaps a path to achieving freedom?

This site-specific performance was recorded within the new premises of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, designed by American architect Thomas Pfeiffer, which at that time were still under construction. It reflects on various notions of "the other." In this work, a person "in transition" speaks about the space "in construction," using their personal past to simultaneously envision the future of this public place. The pre-recorded performance was screened on the museum's facade during a special event celebrating the institution's 18th anniversary.
'Calamity Physics'
INTERIM by Linxxnet
Leipzig Pride Week
performance, 2024
poetry: Paweł Matusz
video documentation
This performance was prepared in collaboration with my friend, poet and activist Pawel Matusz, in the so-called gentrification gap in Leipzig. The work took the form of a poetry show interwoven with personal memories from the summer of 2019, when I chose to seek refuge in Germany during the political oppression of LGBTQ+ individuals in Poland.
'Everywoman Has A Woman That Loves Her'
Ongoing Art Center Tokyo
exhibition and
performance, 2023
(with Hanayo Nakajima)
video guided tour
The exhibition reimagined femininity through the lens of queer expression, transforming objects typically associated with women—such as high heels, shopping bags, and tights—into sources of knowledge that have long remained hidden. It also featured a performance that sought to uncover new connections between Eastern European and Japanese concepts of queerness.
'What Stays The Same After We Change II'
Pickle Bar by Slavs and Tatars
Berlin Art Week
performance, 2023
This performance weaves together monodrama, ritual, stand-up comedy, and nightlife to explore the concept of change from a non-binary perspective. With each iteration, I reinterpret the work, navigating oppositions that illuminate the complexities of context. The piece consists of a simple installation made up of drawings and personal objects that, along with costume and sound, create an immersive situation where the audience, performer, and gallery space become one ephemeral hybrid.
