Upcoming meeting: ✨ On 22/10, we invite you to a meeting with Monika Mamzeta – a visual artist, sculptor, and performer who has been exploring the relationships between the body, identity, and social constructs of femininity for over two decades. Her work includes sculptures, installations, photographs, videos, and performative actions. In her pieces, the artist uses self-portrait and the figure of the female body as a field of symbolic play – a place where issues of visibility, power, and representation intersect. Monika Mamzeta (pseudonym of Monika Maria Zielińska) holds a doctorate in art, is a lecturer at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, and the author of numerous projects in which art becomes a tool for feminist reflection and social change. For the project Idzie RAK… będzie ZNAK, part of the Onkotryptyk cycle, she was nominated for the title of Superheroine by "Wysokie Obcasy" (2020). In 2025, she received the Main Prize of the ING Polish Art Foundation during Warsaw Gallery Weekend. Member of the ZAIKS Authors' Association. About the series: Every week, we meet live with female artists, male artists, and artistic individuals to talk about art: creative processes, works, and current experiences. Some people will appear for the first time, others have already visited the Centre for Contemporary Art. In this series, we want to focus on individual attitudes and artistic practices. Why is it worth participating? In times of tension and crisis, collective thinking and conversations about contemporary art, which responds to the challenges of the present in unconventional ways, help strengthen social resilience. Art is not just an object. Equally important are: process, thinking, emotions, and relationships. Live meetings will allow you to take a close look at how art is created and – above all – who creates it. Events are open to everyone: to those professionally involved in culture and art, as well as those curious about its creators. Or simply want to talk about art. Upcoming meetings: - 29/10 — Pavlo Macov - 05/11 — Honorata Martin - 12/11 — Sonia Dudek We record the meetings for archival purposes. They are added to the Mediatheque, where interested people can watch them online. We want the Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art to be for everyone. To tailor the event to you and your needs, please contact our accessibility coordinator Ewa Doan: [email protected], no later than the Monday preceding the meeting.
