Monika Dorniak

In her practice-based research she is exploring the structures of the Self through a multifaceted analysis of body, mind and environment, by taking into consideration the regressive history of the domination of nature, and social power structures.

Her auto-biographical research on intergenerational trauma, migration and belonging is carried forward within her ongoing collaborations with scientists and diverse communities as part of socially engaged commissions, such as Refugee Week London (2021-2022).

As an artist she has presented her works at international institutions, such as National Gallery Vilnius (2023), Drugo More (2022), Uferstudios Berlin (2021), Kommunale Galerie Bärenzwinger (2019), Tate Exchange at Tate Modern London (2017 & 2018), Arts Catalyst (2016), Foreign Affairs Festival at Berliner Festspiele (2014), and as guest lecturer at SOAS University of London (2022), Garage Museum in Moscow (2019), Al-Quds Bard College (2018), and Chelsea College (2017). Dorniak holds a Master Degree in Art and Science (Department Fine Art) from the Central Saint Martins in London (2017).
