Alicja Wysocka
(b. 1985) – artist, she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, the School of Design and Crafts in Gothenburg, and Vrije Universiteit in Brussels. Wysocka graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznań with a traineeship with Mirosław Bałka. Her activities under the name Alpha Omega refer, among others, to the Omega Workshops established at the beginning of the 20th century in London, combining applied and fine arts, artists from various disciplines, handicraft, localism, and loyalty. Alpha Omega questions the notions of authority and authorship, and distances itself from the way the art market and big brands function (e.g. Ushirika Cooperative).
