Having started their collaboration following their studies at Royal College of Art, London, where they met, Dorota Gawęda (1986, Poland) and Eglė Kulbokaitė (1987, Lithuania) established a syncretic practice that focuses on unearthing unwritten social histories and imagining divergent futures. Transfusing different bodies of knowledge across space and time, Dorota Gawęda and Eglė Kulbokaitė nurture a research-based practice that weaves together seemingly disparate fields - ecology and technology, science and magic, nonhuman intelligence and shared speculation. They work in multiples across performance, painting, sculpture, fragrance, video, installation, and AI-generated imagery - where language breaks down and one genre morphs into many. Gawęda and Kulbokaitė invite their personal histories of growing up in Poland and Lithuania, folklore of the region, daydreams and poetics to materialise into form, where artworks function as carriers of narratives and complex cultural connections. Informed through their Young Girl Reading Group (2013–21) project, the artists create artworks that act as networks of references, looped together by an infinite string of embodied narration.

They have exhibited internationally including Thaddaeus Ropac Gallery, Paris (2024); Centre Pompidou, Paris (2023); Kunsthalle Mainz (2023); EPFL Pavilions, Lausanne (2023); Shedhalle, Zürich (2022); Kunstraum Niederoesterreich, Vienna (2022); CCS, Paris (2022); Kunstverein Hamburg (2021); Istituto Svizzero, Palermo/Milan (2021); Swiss Institute, New York (2020); Julia Stoschek Collection, Düsseldorf (2020); Kunsthalle Fribourg (2020); Lafayette Anticipations, Paris (2019); Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2018); Athens Biennale (2018); Kunsthalle Basel (2017); ICA, London (2017) among others. They are the recipients of the Allegro Artist Prize 2022; CERN Collide Residency 2022 and laureates of the Swiss Performance Art Award 2022.
