Alexandra mainly focuses on collaborative practices based on solidarity and artistic friendship, being part of the HAZY BORDERS collective and working on several projects together with Jolanta Nowaczyk.
Alexandra's artistic practice is a fusion between video-performance, installation and photography. Alexandra is interested in the body’s trajectory between the social and political issues in nowadays society, approaching topics such as the politics of gender, feminism, decoloniality, and the queer or female herstories existing outside the colonial West. She aims at overcoming the boundaries of the art space in order to actively contribute to society’s needs.
