Next Monday, 28th November I am delighted to announce that our guest on the ever-popular Forum Live will be Aleksandra Karpowicz.
Aleksandra is an award-winning artist based in London, working with video, photography, and performance. We became aware of her recently when she asked us to help find willing nude models for her latest work, They Knew No Storms. Many of you answered the call and reported back on a wonderful, uplifting experience.
In her art, Aleksandra explores themes of relationship to body, psychology, sexuality, and identity, and how those aspects of human nature are expressed and oppressed in our society and politics.
A great diversity of over 600 people from a range of social backgrounds, genders, sexuality, and ages appear in her work. She often performs and models for her own art, exposing struggles and personal journeys of healing. She sees her art as an empowering platform of expression for herself and the communities she works with.
I'll be talking to Aleksandra about her life and her work and we'll see some clips of her work too including 'Body as Home'
