Paulina Dracz - Born in Łódź, a post-industrial city shaped by its textile heritage and vibrant alternative art scene, Paulina draws from both craft and experimentation. Primarily a print designer, she explores textile art through themes of femininity, technology, and loneliness, examining how intimacy and isolation coexist in a digital world. She holds a BA in Fashion Textile Design from De Montfort University, where she developed her interdisciplinary approach. Alongside her practice, she teaches Art & Design and leads community workshops, creating inclusive spaces for learning and experimentation, strengthening community ties, and making contemporary art accessible beyond traditional institutions.
