About the Artist
Toronto-based Maria Flawia Litwin grew up in both Poland and Australia, straddling the Iron Curtain. Encounters with communist and consumer ideologies within social and educational structures have made Litwin sensitive to the fluid and shifting nature of belief systems. Marxism, feminism, and humour have greatly impacted her art production. Although trained as a sculptor, Litwin's work is not medium specific and takes the form of textiles, data collecting, performance, acting, video, photography, and fiction writing.
