Sława teaches Visual Theory and Critical Research and Practice
Sława holds a Master's Degree in Communication Art and Design from the Royal College of Art, and is currently undertaking a practice based PhD in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts, London. She also holds an MA in English Philology from the Jagiellonian University, Kraków.
Sława Harasymowicz is a visual artist. She works across a diverse range of media including print, writing, moving image and lens-based media with drawing central to her practice.
While Sława’s practice largely focuses on the possibilities of narrative, her point of departure is often ‘archive’, as a strategy and a cognitive tool to pose questions around the validity of recollection, the ambiguity of reconstruction, political representation and autobiography. Alumna of the Royal College of Art London and The Jagiellonian University Kraków, she is currently undertaking a practice-based PhD at the University of the Arts London.
Sława’s work in progress includes exhibition and publication in collaboration with The Foundation of Archaeology of Photography Warsaw and Pilecki Institute Berlin (2020-2021). In parallel, she has been developing a multi-stage project dealing with the notion of ‘home’ (ACE Grants for the Arts 2019).
Sława has exhibited in the UK and internationally including Freud Museum London, Bunkier Gallery Kraków, Poland, The National Poetry Library Southbank Centre London, and Turner Contemporary Margate, among others. Author of award-winning illustrations for Penguin Books and The Guardian Sława has also published with Le Gun, Modern Poetry in Translation, Folio and Laurence King. She is the author of graphic novel adaptation of Sigmund Freud's Wolf Man (Self-Made Hero, London).
