Featuring 2021 RU alum Asia Sztencel in the RU voices interview series 🎤
Asia Sztencel is a first-generation Polish immigrant and a Brooklyn-based artist. She is inspired by the role of the artist in the community emphasizing sensitivity, and a respectful approach. Through conceptual practices and traditional craft, Sztencel’s work offers a personal exploration within the larger narrative of the immigrant experience, highlighting landscape as a narrative and feelings of exile, recall, and longing. As a lauded artist-educator, she engages diverse communities in Brooklyn, Queens, Los Angeles, and Poland through social practice art projects.
For the past months Asia had a studio at the RU House at Governors Island (@governorsisland) where she produced a new body of works that were inspired by Polish soap operas.
We are thrilled to present our artists in residence and alums through intimate interviews and inspiring conversations about them, their works and the city!
