In her anti-disciplinary practice, Monika Gabriela Dorniak traverses the fluid boundaries between bodies, objects, and environments, seamlessly weaving together performance, (textile) sculpture, workshops, and multimedia interventions. With a background spanning fine art, choreography, psychology, and design, Dorniak’s work often unfolds within collaborative frameworks as a living map—charting the shifting terrains of the self amidst the entanglements of inherited and embodied memories, as well as belonging. In 2024, Dorniak embarked on a practice-based PhD at HfK Bremen and HDK Valand in Gothenburg, where she continues to explore the ongoing impact of the Second World War through auto-ethnographical, agricultural and interspecies positions.
