@viktoriacitrakova
I work across literature, visual art, and performance, using text as my primary medium. My practice draws on autobiographical material—body, failure, desire, shame—through which I construct personal mythologies reflecting broader socio-political realities. I hold a double MA in Fine Arts (FFA BUT) and Art Theory (Masaryk University) and currently work as a fellow at FFA BUT, combining artistic practice with research and teaching. My work spans exhibitions across CZ/SK, writing for independent media such as Artalk and Kapitál, and the award-winning poetry debut Synestetika (Ivan Krasko Prize, 2025).
