Aniela Piasecka’s practice spans performance for galleries, film, digital technologies, unconventional spaces and theatres; it also includes community practice, facilitation, and teaching. Underpinning all Aniela’s work is a desire for collaboration as a methodology to resist atomisation and to forge artistic companionship, beyond the model of the solo artist. They view their practice as inherently relational and engaged with queer feminist phenomenology – to excavate sites of sensitivity in the bodies of performers and audiences alike.

Aniela Piasecka’s collaborative and solo works have been presented with Bergen Kunsthall; Capc, Bordeaux; The Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin; CCA, Glasgow; Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art, Copenhagen; Cubitt Gallery, London; Soy Capitan Gallery, Berlin. They are the lead artist of collaborative project STASIS whose most recent performance was presented at Glasgow International in 2024. They frequently work in other collaborative constellations, notably with sculptor Paloma Proudfoot.

They have received research support from UNLIMITED and Scottish Contemporary Arts Network, they were a contributing artist to interdisciplinary research project CAMPUS at Nottingham Contemporary and have taught workshops and classes notably at Edinburgh College of Art and l’ENSAD, as well as for various community arts initiatives.
