Markéta Dolejšová

Markéta Dolejšová is a practice-based researcher working with embodied and sensory approaches to explore meaning-making across human and other-than-human bodies. Her recent focus has been on ferality and feral eco-systems, exploring what relations, intuitions, and ways of knowing can emerge in the liminal spaces between the wild and the domesticated, the familiar and unknown, the serendipitous and intentional. She is affiliated as an Assistant Professor at The Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, where she acts as the Head of Doctoral Research Department and leads the Multispecies Ecologies and Practices research group. Earlier, she was a postdoctoral research fellowpost at Aalto University – School of Arts, Design and Architecture (2020-24). In 2020-22, she worked with the CreaTures – Creative Practices for Transformational Futures project, where she led the Laboratory of Experimental Productions and co-created the CreaTures Framework setting out how creative practices can stimulate action towards socially and ecologically sustainable futures. She co-founded several art & design research initiatives, including the Uroboros festival, the Open Forest Collective, the Feeding Food Futures network, and the HotKarot & OpenSauce. Since 2025, she has been co-directing the ABIS – Ars Biologica Independent Studies, an international educational programme connecting experimental art, design, technology, and science to explore how different disciplinary perspectives can inform collective engagement with living landscapes.
