Thames & Hudson presents: Zofia Kulik: The Splendour of Myself

Artist Zofia Kulik joins curator Fiona Rogers to discuss her extensive body of work, journeying from her earlier works as part of the avant-garde duo KwieKulik, to the development of her solo career in the late 1980s. Inspired by eroticism, feminism, and the political and social developments of post-war Poland, Kulik's work offers a radical critique of not only what it means to be an artist and a woman, but of what it means to be human.
