Milena Soporowska & Lotus Reaction
About
Milena Soporowska is a visual artist, art historian, researcher, journalist and curator based in Warsaw, Poland. Her work explores, among other things, the intertwining of everyday life with magic and the occult, questioning the concept of home as a safe, familiar haven. She is interested in the combination of alternative medicine and psychoanalysis, and
the overlap between Christianity, esotericism and folk spirituality. She graduated in Art History and Museology from the University of Warsaw, presenting her master's thesis on the influence of spiritualistic and mediumistic photography on art. She also studied photography at the Association of Polish Art Photographers and Academy of Photography in Warsaw.
As a journalist and researcher she co-hosted Tarotiada show at Radio Kapitał - an invitation into the initiation of The Fool. 22 cards of Maior Arcana of Tarot - divination deck of cards known for hundreds of years – become a starting point for cultural and music explorations.
She currently hosts her solo show The Burl, dedicated to “beautiful anomalies”, which can take the form of animate and inanimate beings, places, concepts and practices.
Moreover, she took part in “Polish Culture in Relation to Western Esoteric Philosophy in the Years 1890-1939” project launched in 2019-2020 within the framework of “National Programme for the Development of Humanities”, in which she focused on the evolution of Polish mediumistic photography.
