Iza Rutkowska – designer, creator of Forms and Shapes Foundation and Zoochitecture Studio.

Rutkowska conducts performative research. She designs interactive objects in order to catalyse the energy of a given community, and then cooperates with them for permanent transformation of spaces. She co-creates playgrounds with children, and backyards with residents. She specialises in education as a process, by getting interdisciplinary groups of students involved in field activities. Later they implement independent projects connected to the experience acquired during these activities.

She collaborates with municipal governments and art institutions in Poland and abroad. She conducts educational events and classes for numerous non-governmental organizations and community centers. Results of her work were presented at MAMBO Museum of Modern Art in Bologna, Burle Marx Park in São Paulo, Stromovka Park in Prague, National Gallery in Jakarta, Matadero Madrid, Zachęta – National Gallery of Art in Warsaw, Center for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw, Polin Museum, Copernicus Science Center, and other institutions. She also worked with the Polish Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, the National Audiovisual Institute, as well as municipal governments and numerous NGOs.h
