Agnieszka Golda

Dr Agnieszka Golda is an Associate Professor in Contemporary Arts (Visual Arts) at the School of the Arts, English and Media. She is an artist-researcher who explores the intersection of art, feeling and place in ecological and socio-cultural contexts. Through image making, materiality and creative arts/science collaborations, her artworks contemplate the questions related to our well-being, our role in environmental stewardship including our symbiotic relationship with living creatures and non-living forms. Central to her investigations is the consideration of storytelling, environmentally sustainable materials and ‘slow making’ methods as essential aspects of climate action, migrant traditions and self-care. Golda’s textile, painting and object-based works and large-scale installation projects draw from her field studies in Australia, Cyprus, Hong Kong, Japan and Poland, personal experiences of migration and making on and with Country, as well as studies in anthropology, archaeology, ethnography, environmental studies, and cultural geography.
