Marta’s work centres East-Central European artistic identities and their representation in the UK. They are interested in how these practices are positioned within cultural and institutional frameworks, and how visibility is shaped through historical and political conditions.
Across exhibitions, writing, and facilitation, they engage with questions of migration, xenoracism, gender, class, and queerness. They often work with artists whose practices resist fixed categories and dominant narratives.
Marta understands curating as a relational practice — one that unfolds through dialogue, collaboration, and care. Their work is shaped through long-term conversations with artists, peers, and institutions, with attention to both process and context.
Marta’s PhD research at the University of the Arts London is part of their ongoing inquiry, focusing on the exhibition histories of East-Central European women artists in Britain after 1989.
Alongside this, they work as Artist Development Coordinator at BACKLIT Gallery in Nottingham, supporting artists through sustained, practice-led development.
