Justina Moncevičiūtė is a Lithuanian-born visual artist whose work exists at the intersection of sculpture, installation, and textile practice. With a background in painting and textile design, her process involves a direct, physical engagement with tactile substance and structural logic.
Moncevičiūtė applies textile-based methodologies to unconventional materials such as clay, porcelain, paper, and glass. By forcing these pliable systems into hard and fragile media, she articulates a material discourse on identity, and the inherent fluidity of form.
Distinguished by a post-disciplinary lens, her practice confronts notions of women’s labor and resistance, building a conceptual framework that is both personal and political. Based in Berlin, Moncevičiūtė extends these inquiries into her academic work, lecturing at various universities and leading workshops that explore textile practices within multidimensional environments.
