On 29 October 2026, Polish artist Nadia Markiewicz will be featured at M HKA in Antwerp as part of FRONT ROW, a series of artist talks dedicated to contemporary artistic practice. An opportunity to discover an artistic approach at the intersection of performance, fashion and visual arts.

The Body, Clothing and the Gaze

Born in Poland in 1992 and based in Warsaw, visual artist and performer Nadia Markiewicz explores the representation of disability through an autobiographical lens. Drawing on the surreal aesthetics of entertainment and mass visual culture, she brings together performance, installation and moving image to question how bodies are perceived, represented and imagined. Currently in residence at MORPHO in Antwerp, she is researching the city’s fashion scene while developing new work that explores costume as a choreographic tool.

An Artist Talk as Part of FRONT ROW

During the event, Nadia Markiewicz will present her artistic practice, focusing on how clothing can shape movement and direct the audience’s gaze. The discussion will be moderated by Koi Persyn, Artistic Director of MORPHO. Organised in collaboration with M HKA, NICC and MORPHO, FRONT ROW is a monthly series of talks with contemporary artists. Its open format, ranging from conversations to lecture-performances, invites audiences to reflect on the relationships between art, culture and society.
