Ania Dabrowska is an artist, curator and educator whose studio, curatorial and teaching practice is powered by spiritual, activist, and meditative intentionality. Her work draws from critical frameworks spanning photography and filmmaking, archives, the domain of myth and alchemy, feminism, psychoanalysis, and folklore. She is particularly focused on current discourses redefining our understanding of human and environmental agency, the ontology of objects, and on how articulations of female subjectivity, body, place, motherhood and migrant belonging can counter the ruins of capitalist and patriarchal orders. In her practice, Ania asks what can artists, academics and cultural institutions can effectively do to reclaim narratives of the self and empower agency in relation to political and climate change. How can an exploration of the ecologies and mythologies of the self intervene in cultural and social mythmaking, and in the protection of both planetary ecologies and our wellbeing? Ania teaches Photography Studio, Professional Practice, and Critical and Contextual Studies at London Metropolitan University's School of Art, Architecture and Design. She has taught art and photography in UK art schools since 2007.
