Monika Rybińska

Monika Rybińska is a visual artist, designer, and poet, writing in Polish, English, and German, with translations from Hungarian and Italian. She is the creator and facilitator of living language / żywy język, a project that explores language in motion through sound, image, and word. This initiative creates a space where poetry becomes an open dialogue.

Focused on publishing and writing workshops in both English and Polish, living language / żywy język serves as a platform for literary and artistic experimentation. Through this initiative, Monika examines how language shapes identity and culture, while cultivating a community of poets and creatives engaged in ongoing dialogue.

Monika also co-runs sroki złodziejki (thieving magpies), an art-and-poetry collective based in Warsaw. The collective organises poetry events that engage local communities and enrich the cultural landscape of the city.
