Kasia, 28, is not native to London but has had enough time to find her way about, moving like a nomad from one place to another. Bit by bit, kindly unfolding themselves to her are the undercurrents of this giant, leading her deeper and deeper into the winding streets, into the music and quirky people. She gets inspired by what she sees and hears and she then scribbles it down on whatever piece of paper she can get her hands on. Her energy lasts long enough to produce short forms like articles and art reviews, and sometimes trickles down with tiny forms like songs and poetry. Kasia has always been tuned into her cultural surroundings, flirting with the written word to capture the ‘here and now’ of a particular place she happens to inhabit. She holds an MA in Cultural Studies and Languages and enjoys living theory in practice.
