Magda Olchawska BIO

ARTIST STATMENT

Magda Olchawska running the “Another Way…” creative workshops

I work at the intersection of interdisciplinary multimedia and art projects shaped by ecofeminism and intergenerational storytelling. Utilising film, video art, writing, installation and sculpture in my practice responds to the neurodivergent way I learn and see the world. Long-term economic, environmental and social sustainability waves through my creative practice. Crafting reflective, participatory projects that connect people with their stories has been a recurring motif in my work. “Another Way…” workshops, which I ran during the London Festival of Architecture in 2023 and in cooperation with Aldgate Connect, echoed my aspiration to unlock storytelling and untapped creative potentials within individuals. “Allotment”, my most recent project, explored the notion of ecofeminism and intergenerational storytelling by encapsulating ecological, immersive, multidisciplinary sculpture in the public realm. Artistically, I’m drawn to preserving knowledge, and I am passionate about designing safe public spaces open to sharing knowledge and experience through artistic and gardening activities. One such project, Meditative Gardening Pod, is an example of a reflective space that encourages contemplation while offering opportunities to grow simple plants in limited urban spaces. Actively empowering communities and individuals through inclusive and immersive creative activities has become pivotal in my work.
Like a river, my creative practice is forever changing and responsive to the environment and surrounding circumstances. Feel free to browse through my projects and many pages of content. Don’t hesitate to drop me a line if there is a project we could collaborate on.
