Ella Katrovasová

Ella Katrovasová is an interdisciplinary urbanist and thinker whose work bridges prefigurative politics, ecofeminism, and anarchist approaches to urban design. While her early practice centered on guerrilla street art and installation art—exhibited at the ReCompose studio in Prague and the Divo Institute in Beja, Portugal—her focus has since shifted toward urbanistic interventions and critical writing as a means to analyze social systems within physical spaces.

Ella’s current projects include The Crisis of Children’s Freedom: The East-West Dichotomy and Czech-Ukrainian Solidarity, an exploration of childhood freedom and play shaped by the urbanism of the East-West dichotomy, and The Living Heritage Collective, a speculative initiative envisioning architectures of liberation within over-commercialized city centers.

Now pursuing her Master’s studies at the University of Arts, Architecture, and Design in Prague under the mentorship of internationally acclaimed theorist Eva Franch i Gilabert, Ella delves into the revolutionary potential of playfulness as a form of prefigurative politics. She integrates culture and nature as ecological resistance, crafting practices that foster communal resilience, reimagine public space, and challenge dominant urban paradigms.
