Artist Statement
Eleonora Hrybniak combines memory, resistance and intimacy in her artistic practice. In her work, she uses text, textiles and photography to visualize personal narratives that are situated in larger political and social contexts. She is interested in the materiality of memory, in making structural violence in the everyday visible and in the potential of supposedly feminine gestures – such as crocheting, embroidery, collecting – as feminist actions.
