Her work focuses on militant tenderness and softness, interspecies communication, interspecies community and radical imagination.
She is interested in how plants perceive the world.
What the grass says.
How to foster a relationship with so-called invasive species.
What forms radical gardening can take.
What it’s like to live with ecological grief and anxiety.
She mostly works through drawing and by creating objects but also fluidly engages with text, dialogue, workshops, performative lectures, teaching and participative forms.
She publishes essays, essay sketches, poetry and spoken word about intersubjective and interspecies relationships.
Along with Klára Soukupová, she has prepared workshops and performative lectures dedicated to interspecies democracy, biophilia and advocacy for the more-than-human.
In collaboration with Martin Nytra, she has been co-creating a project about a biophilic city framed by the symbolism of home.
She is part of the Collective Liberation Circle that focuses on deconstructing speciesism. She also develops conferences focusing on more-than-human topics with a special view to intersectional and decolonial standpoints and also engages with the operations of animal sanctuaries and ecological agriculture.
She has lectured on radical imagination in Vesna and has been an author and illustrator for Druhá : směna. She is currently studying Intermedia and Digital Art at the Faculty of Fine Arts (Video Studio) and is part of the Unbelievable Dawn project.
She has exhibited in Czech Republic and abroad, for example in Berlin, Warsaw and Krakow and is currently focusing on collective approaches and collaborative work as part of a duo.
She loves foxes, Pallas’s cats, ducklings, Pipin and Cipin, rosehip, meadow clover and dandelions.
