Patricia Petersen is a Danish/Polish visual artist and writer currently based between London (UK) and Vordingborg (DK). Inspired by experimental ethnography, Petersen's work challenges power structures by reframing historical and political narratives through a feminist lens of poetic absurdity.
Her work explores the correlations between (post)memory, displacement, language, nature, and the body, shaped by her experience of growing up between different cultures.She has shown her work internationally including at Festival Circulation(s), Brighton Photo Fringe and Arden Asbæk Gallery.
Patricia holds a BA from Wimbledon College of Arts (UAL) and a MA in Contemporary Art Practice from the Royal College of Art. She is a senior fellow at Humanity in Action Denmark.
