Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ania_Walwicz
Ania Walwicz graduated from the Victorian College of the Arts, Melbourne and has exhibited visual works in Arts Projects written and performed experimental prose-poetry. She has described her work as avant-garde, experimental, poetic and abstract writing.
She was artist/writer-in-residence at the Experimental Art Foundation in 1986, writer-in-residence at Deakin University, Victoria, 1987 and writer-in-residence at Murdoch University, Western Australia, in 1988. She was a guest writer to the British Association for Australian Studies Conference, Lincoln, England in 1988, to the Festival de la Batie, Geneva, Switzerland in 1990 and the Centre Internationale de la Poesie Sonore, Marseilles, France, in 1990. She has read on numerous public occasions in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide as well as in England, Switzerland and France. She has also read and discussed her work on Radio 3EA, 3PBS, 3CR and 2SER as well as on SBS TV.
Ania Walwicz has taught as a lecturer in the School of Creative Media, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, and her work has been featured in many university courses and videos in Australia. Her work is widely regarded as embodying a kind of experimental writing. Her prose poems and theatrical pieces use a fractured English, in a minimalist, discontinuous style. Walwicz employs a variety of voices, often those of migrants and other exiles, in surrealist, modernist, repetitive discourses substituting for standard plots. Traces of her mother tongue, Polish, can be observed in some works. Her juxtaposition of urban trash culture with shards from European high culture conveys a disorienting montage effect.
