about: majka tkáčiková 

_born in Slovakia (Presov) // based in Spain (Barcelona).

 

Majka Tkáčiková is an artist, curator, exhibition designer and creative director with a multidisciplinary career where organically shaped ceramics, textile installations and spatial or exhibition design converge.

 

Through a conscious look at materials and a visitor-centered approach, she transforms environments into vibrant experiences, approaching space as both a conceptual and material element of her work. Her artistic practice serves as a tool for constructing her own landscapes, in which she reflects on intimate emotional processes and captures her Slovak roots and the present through new metaphors and tactile experiences.

 

Born in Slovakia and trained in Interactive Media Theory in Brno, Czech Republic she has resided in Spain since 2016, where she has consolidated her path as a self-taught artist and exhibition curator. Her professional profile combines academic research with active practice and hands-on experiences, highlighting her collaboration as creative director in projects such as Suben Art Management, B-Murals, Manifesta 15 Biennale or SoundIt. She has led and produced exhibitions in Barcelona, Paris, Berlin and Copenhagen.

 

In 2024, she was awarded the Fahrenheit scholarship from Elisava to deepen her design within the Master's in Ephemeral Architecture and Temporary Spaces, a knowledge that adds to her experience in international residencies in Portugal, Italy, Denmark and Slovakia. In these contexts, she has developed proposals closely linked to the territory, exploring the limitations and creative opportunities offered by materials and the environment in ceramics and textiles.
