Lecturer, History of Art & Architecture
Ewa Matyczyk is a lecturer in Modern and Contemporary Art. Her current research interests include public space, activist art practices, and participatory projects. She is interested in the themes of memory and everyday life, as well as commemorative practices and landscapes. Her dissertation, “Intervention, Memory, and Community: Public Art and Architecture in Warsaw Since 1970” brought together these concerns in a study that traced art’s role in this Eastern European city over the last five decades. Ewa earned her doctorate from Boston University in May of 2020. Since then she has been teaching writing seminars on the theme of public art at BU and Northeastern. She has also taught courses on contemporary art and museums, and architectural history at Suffolk University, Boston Architectural College, and UMass, Amherst.
