Michelle Tylicki is an activist and interdisciplinary artist whose subversive work challenges systems of power, amplifies marginalized voices, and envisions a lush, just future of planetary kinship.























Michelle Tylicki has contributed to local, national and international campaigns focusing on radical system change. Her work promotes climate justice, animal rights, food sovereignty, racial justice, disability rights, sex work decrim, the international ban of high carbon advertising and ending blasphemy laws.
She often takes part in direct action on the frontlines of these movements and skill-shares creative tools of resistance. In her art, Tylicki creates subversive graphic design critiquing advertising (subvertising), illustration and short films on creative direct action. She explores physical theatre, producing and directing a climate-clown wrestling troupe, and installations like the antifascist catapult and the fridge full of 'humanely slaughtered human meat'.
Born in NYC, USA, 1985 to Polish immigrants, Michelle Tylicki is currently based between London and Gdańsk.
Tylicki studied experimental film at FAMU in Prague, Czech Republic (2007) and graduated with a Master of Arts degree from ASP Gdańsk, Poland (2010).
