Kinga Oktabska (b. 1995) is an artist from Wroclaw, Poland. Searching for a relationship between landscape, memory and identity, her practice reconstructs the narrative of a place from fragments: discarded objects, unremembered stories, erased lines.

Public Programme

The location of the space would allow her greater opportunities to communicate and include local residents in her work about the local area. She hopes to use the space as a platform for dialogue with local community members to inform her practice. As part of this, she is keen to run an event featuring talks with local historians about the lost heritage of Battersea and a drawing workshop with local residents to represent their memories of the area. She would like to invite people to create a collaborative drawing and later make prints of it to give away in the form of postcards or posters.
