BIO

Iza Koczanowska (b. 1988, Poland) is an artist, researcher and set designer based in the Netherlands / Poland / ...

Her context- and place-specific practice works through spatial and material research to create sculptural, relational installations. By engaging with migration politics, tourism, and extractivism, she reflects on systemic transformations, coping with reality through nostalgia, exploring temporal overlaps, and opening speculative realms.

She has participated in art residencies at M4gestatelier in Amsterdam, Snehta in Athens, and Sesama in Yogyakarta.
