HYSTERA
[DR ALICJA PAWLUCZUK]
RESEARCH WEBSITE >>>
HYSTERA (dr Alicja Pawluczuk) is a disabled artist and digital inequalities researcher whose practice intertwines art, community engagement, and academia. Her artistic practice explores the interplay between research and creative interventions for social change. By embracing participatory, intersectional, and experimental approaches, she aims to create spaces, communities, and artworks that challenge boundaries and spark meaningful conversations. Her work is grounded in her lived experiences of invisible disability, neurodivergence, and peripheral whiteness as an Eastern European migrant. She currently works as a Research Fellow at Leeds University, curating the IN+ART Programme. She is a co-founder of Endo Violence Collective and founder Digital Beez.
