Born in NYC, USA, 1985 to Polish immigrants, Michelle Tylicki is currently based between London and Lisbon.

Tylicki studied experimental film at FAMU in Prague, Czech Republic (2007) and graduated with a Master of Arts degree from ASP Gdańsk, Poland (2010). Since her thesis on ‘Art and Activism’, she's contributed to local, national and international campaigns focusing on radical system change. Her work promotes climate justice, animal rights, food sovereignty, racial justice, disability rights, sex work decrim, and ending blasphemy laws. She often takes part in direct action on the frontlines of these movements and skill-shares creative tools of resistance.


In her art, Tylicki creates subversive graphic design critiquing advertising (subvertising), campaign illustration and short films & animations on direct action and systemic change. She explores physical theatre, producing and directing a climate-clown wrestling troupe, and installations like the antifascist catapult and the fridge full of 'humanely slaughtered human meat'.

An active member of art/activist collectives: Subvertisers International, Brandalism, Axe Drax, and often collaborates with Greenpeace (UK/NL/DE/IT), the Green Party (UK/NL), Transnational Institute, PowerShift, Creatives For Climate, Landworkers' Alliance, Feedback, Glastonbury Festival and Animals Asia.
