Marta Marsicka

Artist Development Coordinator

They/​Them

Marta works closely with studio holders and associates of BACKLIT, coordinating the development programme. As a curator and researcher, they explore issues of East-Central European identity and representation in post-Brexit Britain. Their practice looks at the systemic and cultural frameworks of CEE-related art production, curation, and facilitation. It often includes interrogation of politics of gender, class, queerness, national stereotypes, and underrepresentation of CEE artists in the UK and globally.
