Collection: Marcelina Amelia

Expressive AF

Rooted in my Polish heritage, I explore themes of migration, motherhood, mental health, and feminism, blending folklore with contemporary narratives. I am the xo-founder of Grupa Łono, a feminist collective born in response to political unrest. I curate exhibitions and workshops that foster shared stories and creative experimentation. My practice bridges personal expression and social change and recently culminated in Mamalia, a self-published book reflecting on motherhood's raw complexities.

Fun Fact: As a kid, I’d put on full-blown shows for my family, dressing up as wildly different characters—sometimes I was an old man and the sea, sometimes Baby Spice, sometimes both at once. Honestly, my first audience probably deserved an encore!
