Nadia Markiewicz – The Lonesome Wing © Mateusz Kowalczyk

Nadia Markiewicz (*1992, Warsaw, Poland) is a Warsaw-based visual artist, performer, and creator of spatial installations and video works. Her practice examines disability from an autobiographical perspective, seeking metaphors within the surreal potential of entertainment and mass visual culture.

Currently a Fulbright Visiting Researcher at the Center for Disability Studies at New York University, she investigates historical modes of displaying extraordinary bodies in relation to contemporary performance art. She is also a PhD candidate at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow. In 2023 she was a resident at the International Studio & Curatorial Program in New York. She holds an MFA from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw.

She is a recipient of the Europe Beyond Access Award granted by the Zachęta National Gallery of Art and the British Council (2021) as well as the Grand Prix of the 10th Rybie Oko Young Art Biennial (2022). Her practice was the subject of a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw (2026), and her work has also been presented at institutions such as the Zachęta National Gallery of Art, Kunsthalle Bratislava, and Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.
