Girlhood/Polaroids
About
She investigates how the concept of girlhood manifests in the today's world. Her research is grounded in constantly emerging new feminist and queer theories, such as hydrofeminism. Through her works, she weaves together interspecies threads to undermine gender frames, persistently questioning the characteristics of her own position in modern society.
Based in Warsaw, Poland.
