Z O S I A Z O L T K O W S K I
Based in London.I am a queer Polish-Australian artist tracing the fractures between body, territory, and memory through participatory and site-specific performance, workshops, and immersive installation. Working through movement, ritual, and the materials of a place - its iron, its water, its histories - I give space to what land and bodies hold: the imprints of time, trauma, and resilience. My practice moves between inquiry and reckoning - between presence and absence, memory and loss, what can be touched and what can't.
I've exhibited and collaborated with communities across Italy, Spain, Iceland, Poland, Korea, Australia, the UK and Mexico, and that cross-cultural dialogue is at the root of how I create. I think of each work as a living laboratory, where the entanglement of bodies, space, movement, sound, and material becomes a way of remembering, re-sensitising, and reawakening our connection to the ecologies we're part of.
Currently I’m completing my Masters in Dance Movement Psychotherapy at Goldsmiths, University of London. Training as a psychotherapist is reshaping how I make - bringing trauma-informed care, and a deeper attention to the body's capacity for regeneration, into my facilitation and performance practices.
