Andi Kacziba

Budapest, 1974
Lives and works in Milan

Andi Kacziba, was born in Hungary in 1974, she completed her studies at the Casus Kortárs Müvészeti Kollégium of Budapest and later on at the European Institute of Design of Milan and Venice. Andi Kacziba lives in Italy since 1997 where she worked as a model, and later devoted herself to photography. Her first cycles of works express through the laborious manual weaving of rope, the strength, tenacity and capacity for endurance of women who, deluded by the feminist movements of the 1960s and 1970s into believing that they had finally obtained the equal rights and dignity they were entitled to and had ardently fought for, find themselves today, in contemporary western society, transformed into mere status symbols, accessories and attributes of male vanity. Her works of art became a metaphor for the daily struggle every woman is still facing in the 21st century.

The perception of an Artist's role as a figure committed to generating positive social change has led Andi Kacziba to devote herself to younger artists, and an attempt to find ways to offer them opportunities for visibility and growth, which are often denied by the mainstream. For this purpose, in 2012 she was amongst the founders of the Cramum Association, of which she was President until 2016, produced four editions of the Cramum Award and co-curated a host of personal and collective exhibitions.
