Filipka Rutkowska

Filipka Rutkowska (she/he/they, born 1991 in Warsaw) is a gender-liminal performance artist and art historian who transforms bodies and objects into ephemeral personae, challenging identity norms through a queer baroque and absurd lens. Her performances navigate taboos of sexuality and class, incorporating installations that archive queer knowledge derived from personal rituals. Rutkowska's work has been presented at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw and the Gothenburg Biennale. She has also acted in the films of Małgorzata Szumowska, Łukasz Ronduda, and Alex Baczyński-Jenkins. Since 2023, she has written "Filipka and the Big City" for Vogue Poland, a column offering a queer perspective on contemporary life.
