Artist

Małgorzata Mycek (born in 1993 in Sanok) – in 2020 she obtained a Master’s Degree at the Faculty of Painting and Drawing at the University of the Arts Poznań under the supervision of Professor Dominik Lejman. She is the finalist of the 40th edition of the Maria Dokowicz best graduation diploma competition, and 19th edition of the Hestia Artistic Journey (Artystyczna Podróż Hestii) competition. She is a cofounder of the Bomba Publishing (Wydawnictwo Bomba) initiative, which publishes socially engaged zines. In 2019, Bomba was awarded in national Young Wolves (Młode Wilki) competition.

She is a painter and performer from Poznań. She grew up in a small village in the Bieszczady Mountains at the turn of the millennium. In her works she is particularly interested in a motive of periphery, which in mainstream discussion is often romanticised, just as many aspects related to the rural life, such as deep-seated sexism, are overlooked. In her projects, there is visible interest in vernacular culture, queer, and involvement in current political affairs.
