Kozyra is Poland’s most famous female artist. In the 1990s, she and artists Artur Żmijewski and Paweł Althamer started the critical art movement. From the beginning, Kozyra broke social taboos like nudity, old age, and death, making her controversial in conservative Polish society. Her performances and interactive events challenge traditional artist-audience boundaries, while her videos tackle key human issues such as identity and transgression.
