Monika Mamzeta

Monika Mamzeta (b.1972) studied law at Warsaw University and sculpture at the Fine Arts Academy in Warsaw. A lawyer by profession, she is a qualified advocate and patent attorney. She creates objects, photographs, videos and multimedia installations. In her art and theoretical papers, she speaks of diverse subjects connected to feminism. The one that seems most important is the problem of the taboo of a woman’s body, and the series of do's and don'ts that surrounds it. The means she uses oscillate between delicate allusion and strong persuasion, bordering on feminist agitation or propaganda. 

Her works often have a strong social and political message, behind which hides a belief in the possibility of changing women’s situation through art. Mamzeta often uses the shape of an illuminated coffer, poster, or billboard, playing with the female image created by popular culture.
