Tusia Dabrowska
— artist statement and bio



I am drawn to the unruly, errored and soft. I welcome intuitions, fissures in reality and future orientations. I embrace failure.

Life in capitalist ruins and realities emerging from our relationship to folk epistemologies and intelligences different from our own are at the core of my practice. I work with text and in mediated contexts spanning audio, video, mixed reality, and ML models. My process is rooted in methods that echo the Slow Media approach, and often includes extensive, interview-based research and/or collaborations with thinkers, researchers and other makers. My projects work through the cartographies of dislocation, alienation of techno-hybrids, and cross-generational traumas.

In every space I select for myself in work and life, I am reminded how resistance is not linear. I consider what it means to challenge oneself under capitalism and embrace the exuberance of process.


TUSIA DABROWSKA makes eco-social performances, experimental films and digital projects. Trained in Tactical Media and embracing the Slow Media methodologies, Tusia is particularly interested in mediated liveness and co-creation. Her performance, “My Imaginary Friends,” that explores the socio-political potential of reimagining the Ashkenaz as a model of cohabitation, received support from Asylum Arts (2021) and LABA NYC (2023). Her algorithmic video art “Dystopiany” offers a story of a migrant fleeing to the megapolis, only to realize that it is collapsing as the world is transforming in regeneration of the geo- and the genome. It was developed during a one year residency at BRIC in Brooklyn (2022-23). In her first documentary short (wip), “I No Longer Believe We Are Good People,” Tusia travels to the eastern border of Poland to meet local women aid volunteers and migrants crossing through an old growth forest to enter into the E.U. This project received support from the Queens Arts Fund (2023), Puffin Foundation (2023), and CUNY’s Adjuncts’ Incubator (2025). She was the artist in residence at Signal Culture (2017), BRICworkspace (2017), Konvent Residency (2019), and Wave Hill (2023). Tusia co-founded temp.files, a women and non-binary artist video publishing cooperative, online publication, streaming site, and remote residency (BAC grant, 2024). Tusia teaches courses in media production and video editing at NYU and QC/CUNY.
