Kinga Michalska is a Polish queer visual artist and filmmaker based in Tiohtiá:ke/Mooniyang/Montreal. Their work examines issues of memory, identity, displacement, and hauntings. They are interested in the periphery of who and what makes history: amateur historians, geological processes, small-town gossip, stranger encounters, and speculative fiction. They hold a BA in Cultural Studies from the University of Warsaw and an MFA in Photography from Concordia University. Their work has been shown in multiple exhibitions and film festivals in Canada, Poland, UK, Korea, Switzerland, Italy, and Germany.
