Anna Okrasko
Visual artist, educator and volunteer. She was born in Warsaw and currently lives in Berlin. She graduated from the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts and Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam. She has worked in Poland, the Netherlands and Germany. For several years, she has been dealing with subjects of contemporary transmigration. Her works explore the political dimension of (auto) biography and notions of identity, displacement or belonging. As an artist, she is also interested in the changes taking place in local communities and their environment. She has been observing this process for several years, while making artworks related to the city of Bytom. Since 2016, Anna Okrasko has been working as an educator in intercultural youth exchange initiatives. She combines political education focused on democracy and participation and the pedagogy of perception with her experience and skills in the field of visual arts. Within the framework of her art projects and her volunteer work, Okrasko has been taking up such topics as: migration, tolerance, democratic public space, belonging and identity. She conducts workshops for young people, combining language animation, intercultural communication and democratic training with visual arts (photography, film, painting, collage and sculpture), which support participative and inclusive processes.
