Bogna Burska (born 1974) is a Polish playwright and visual artist known for installations, spatial photography and video. Her art is presented from a feminist perspective. Her initial painting compositions were narratives of congealed blood forms made with red paints applied by fingers on the walls, canvas and glass.[1][2][3]

Burska established the Warsaw Artists Action (WAA) organization in 2002. She also co-edited a Polish art magazine titled Internet Feminist and Gender Art Magazine Artmix which was the first of its kind dealing with subjects related to feminism and gender equality. She resides in Warsaw and works in Gdańsk. Her works have been exhibited throughout Poland and also abroad in many countries.[4] Her art work has been described as a blend of "critical art and aesthetic issues."[1] Her dedication to the cause of feminist movement is better expressed by quoting her own words: "I’m an artist, woman and feminist. I work on a variety of subjects including femininity and its faces. But whatever I'm preoccupied with at any moment, feminist issues are always of great importance to me".[4]
