Markéta Dolejšová

Markéta Dolejšová is a practice-based researcher experimenting with co-creative and embodied experiences in multispecies contexts. 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 also an Assistant Professor at The Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, where she acts as the Head of Doctoral Research Department, and recently finished her postdoctoral research fellowship 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.
