ABOUT
Anna has a range of experience as a social researcher as well as working in the cultural sector as a facilitator, curator and engagement coordinator. In 2023, she graduated from the Health Humanities and Arts program at the University of Edinburgh with distinction. She also holds an MLitt in Curatorial Practice (Contemporary Art) from the Glasgow School of Art and a BA in Cultural Management & Art Theory from the Hungarian University of Fine Arts. She is a motivated curator with a passion for collaborative and interdisciplinary practices. She is the founder and/or member of various arts collectives: szabadonbalaton, BÜRO imaginaire, Roundabout and BRUT.
Her recent work explores contemporary artistic positions concerned with physical and mental health, with a specific focus on the politics and social entanglements of urban playgrounds, affordances of public space and creative place-making.
She has previously worked with BALATORIUM, Šopa Gallery, Zentrum für Netzkunst, Ars Electronica, Glasgow Artists’ Moving Image Studios, Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival and OFF Biennale Budapest among others. See: Projects
Originally from Hungary, she studied in Germany and Scotland, lived in Italy, and is now based in Glasgow. She plays bike polo, makes zines and upcycles clothes.
