A queer artist and choreographer working at the intersection of dance, visual arts, and cultural anthropology
About the artist
Alka Nauman (she/her) – queer interdisciplinary artist, choreographer, dancer, antifascist, and author of texts. She graduated in Choreography from London Contemporary Dance School and in Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology from the University of Warsaw. She is a recipient of the City of Warsaw Artistic Scholarship (2025) and the PEER Programme at Studio Wayne McGregor in London (2020–2022). Her practice explores the political and speculative potential of working with lesbian and antifascist archives through choreographic lens.
