Aleksandra Kaminska

Aleksandra Kaminska is currently completing her dissertation in the Communication and Culture program at York University, Toronto. Her research is an interdisciplinary examination of contemporary media art in Poland. It examines the role of the artist as a special opportunity for thinking about global citizenship, self-enfranchisement and democratization. Underlying this work is a contribution to the complex ways in which we define mediatized artistic practice by grounding it as both site-specific and rooted in localized histories. Publications include Space and Culture (forthcoming), Material Culture Review, International Journal of Arts and Technology, and Topia.

She is also the managing editor of PUBLIC, a researcher for the Visible City Project + Archive, and a member of the L.O.T. Experiments in Urban Research collective.
