Meeting with Katarzyna Górna
-
We will be speaking with Katarzyna Górna –– about the shifts in her practice, the feminist foundations of her thinking, and how art today can respond to the ecological crisis and social tensions –– without losing the strength of its critical gesture.
- The artist graduated from Grzegorz Kowalski’s studio at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and holds a doctorate in art from the Academy of Art in Szczecin. For years, she has consistently engaged with themes of symbolic power, identity, and female subjectivity. Recently, her works have increasingly turned towards ecology and the relationships between humans –– particularly women –– and nature, exploring the possibility of new, interspecies modes of coexistence.
- She is a laureate of the Maria Anto and Elsa von Freytag Artistic Award, the Ludwika z Lindów Górecka Award presented by the Zachęta – National Gallery of Art, and has been honoured with the “Gloria Artis for Merit to Culture” medal.

{Live}
- Every week, we meet live with artists to talk about art: creative processes, works, and current experiences.
- We host both artists who have previously taken part in Ujazdowski Castle’s programme and those making their debut. In this series, we would like to focus on individual approaches and artistic practices.
- Why take part?
- The events will be recorded for archival purposes, and the recordings will be made available online through the Mediateka.
- In times of tensions and crises, thinking and talking together about contemporary art – which responds to today’s challenges in unconventional ways – helps strengthen social resilience. Art is not only the object – just as important are the process, the thinking, the emotions, and the relationships that accompany it. The meetings offer a closer look at how art is created and, most importantly, who creates it.
- Every week, we meet live with artists to talk about art: creative processes, works, and current experiences.
- The meetings are open to everyone, from people working professionally in culture and art, to those who are curious about artists and their work, or simply want to talk about art.
- We do our best to make the Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art accessible to everyone – we would like to adapt the event to you and your needs. To help us do that, please contact our accessibility coordinator: dostepnosc@u-jazdowski.pl, no later than the Monday before the event.
