Mia Dudek

Born in Sosnowiec, an industrial town in the south of Poland, Mia Dudek spent her teenage years in Warsaw, before she moved to London to pursue her studies in photography. After completing her BA at London College of Communications (2012) and her MA at The Royal College of Art (2016), she expanded her practice to installation and sculpture – in which she is currently completing a PhD at the University of Lisbon.

Moving across media and changing home countries – from Poland to England to Portugal – Dudek developed a singular language of expression related to depictions of the domestic and urban spheres. In her practice, the artist continuously probes the relationship between the body and the architectural fabric, while exploring notions of intimacy, displacement and inhabiting.

Dudek’s work has been featured in a number of exhibitions around Europe as well as in publications, including Source Magazine, LYNX Contemporary and 24 Artists to Watch by Modern Painters, December 2014. In 2018 she has received the Special Jury Anamorphosis Prize for her self-published book MDAM, which is now in MoMA Library Collection in New York. In May 2019 Art Forum has featured in Critic’s Pick her Marsyas show in Galerist, Istanbul curated by Nick Hackworth. Since then she exhibited at art fairs like Unseen, Arco Lisboa, Contemporary Istanbul and Photo London, where her works has been feautured by The Guardian “Best of Photo London 2022”. In 2023 Dudek will present her two solo shows in Lisbon and Warsaw as well we exhibit her works during National Photo Festival in Darmstadt, Germany. Her photographs and objects are currently shown at CSW Ujazdowski Castle.  It will be her third exhibition at the gallery.
