Weronika Trojańska (PL)

Weronika Trojańska is a Polish interdisciplinary artist working with sound, embodiment, and the politics of appropriation. She holds an MA from the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznań and the Sandberg Instituut in Amsterdam. She is currently a PhD candidate at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław.

Working between performance and sound installation, she explores the psychoacoustics of the human body—the musicality of speech, silence, and laughter—and how these shape social identity. She often invites others into her process, creating shared spaces that question the roles of artist, audience, and artwork. 

Her work has been shown at Kunstgewerbemuseum (Berlin), Pawilon (Poznań), Port25 (Mannheim) and BWABydgoszcz, EYE Filmmuseum (Amsterdam), MoMA, Emily Harvey Foundation, Rongwrong (Amsterdam), among others. In 2017, Trojańska also performed Yoko Ono historical Cut Piece at the Museum der Moderne in Salzburg. She has also published texts in a number of Polish and English-language art magazines (including OnCurating, Metropolis M and Arterritory.com). 

During the residency, Weronika Trojańska would like to develop a new project titled “Intervals”—a durational and participatory practice that repositions waiting not as wasted or empty time, but as a radical space of care, presence, and political refusal. 

The residency program is supported using public funding by the Slovak Arts Council. The Slovak Arts Council is the main partner of this project. The project was also supported by the City of Košice and the Košice Self-Governing Region. 

The residency is organized thanks to the partnership with the residency centre AIR Wro.
