Alex Baczynski-Jenkins

Alex Baczynski-Jenkins is a Polish-British performance artist and co-founder of the Kem collective based in Warsaw. Kem is an anti-racist, feminist queer community that explores choreography, performance and sound as part of social action.  

Baczynski-Jenkins’s performances are built of gestures and movements that are detailed, fragile, sharp and subtle. Often the result of extended development, the works are an antithesis to contemporary experience economy that is based on fleeting and easily digestible experiences. 

In September 2021, Alex Baczynski-Jenkins won the ANTI Festival International Prize for Live Art, presented by ANTI – Contemporary Art Festival.
