Born in 1995 in Dąbrowa Górnicza - Poland.
From 2014 - 2024 she lived in Berlin, where she completed her Bachelor's of Science degree in Urban and Regional Planning at the Technical University of Berlin. She is currently studying at the University of Porto as part of the Master's programe in Art and Design of Public Spaces.   

She analyses and investigates open public spaces as an active observer using the language of performance art. She is passionate about walking and practicing ‘Urban planner's Patrol’, i.e. analysing and controlling the development of spaces to ensure a sense of security for the inhabitants. She thrives on combining two disciplines, such as urban planning and performance, and transfers them into techniques for looking at the city from a different perspective.

  • Telling and listening urban stories (last edited: 2025) author(s): Alis Kisanaj This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
    A human who has consumed a lot of art seeks the need to process and pour it out. In the best case scenario, the human gives it back in a way that inspires further, creating a circle of inspiration. The daily ‘feeding of art’ at the university, in galleries, museums, on the streets of Porto has resulted in an overload of art consumed in one body. The main driving factor behind this research is to explore the city of Porto and the use of the human transformation process by ‘art feeding’ to experiment with the self and public space in a performative way. Three stories about storytelling, listening and talking: I. A human tells a story in a public space II. The city introduces itself, the human listens III. A conversation between a human and a usable space
