Biography
Maša's professional background includes work for media, cultural and human rights organizations where her interests were centered around post-war feminist scene, cultural activism, media research and gender - based violence.
She has been making documentary films, experimental videos, and other visual forms on personal narratives and social issues for more than 20 years. Her works have been screened and exposed at various film festivals and exhibitions around the world.
In 2015, with a group of artists and friends, Masa co-founded SWAN, an international women’s art festival in Prague.
She teaches creative media production at Prague City University, whose curriculum engages with social issues, personal storytelling, and visual narratives. She additionally teaches film directing, documentary film production and experimental cinema at Prague Film School.
Masa also worked with the Society for Creativity in Education (Společnost pro kreativitu ve vzdělávání), whose mission focuses on bringing, supporting, and developing creative education in schools.
She is co-founder of Media & Film Initiative with Touching Lives, non-profit organization based in Mumbai, India, which work towards Learning and Healing of children and people of slum communities, supporting them to become independent learners.
For the past several years, Masa has been running visual storytelling workshops for women and girls in Czech Republic, Georgia, India, and Mexico.

She is a founder and director of the organization World Community Connect that aims to cultivate plurality of all people regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, or age through community art projects, creative initiatives, and other educational programs with communities across the world.
My creative and healing works changed the trajectory when I understood magical mixtures of elements of art, nature, inner journeys, and outer worlds. I had the great fortune of studying work of people from different parts of the world, visual art made by dozens of women for the past two centuries, a key forces that helped my work to become sublimation of visual personal open space, space that invites people all over the world to share their voices, sing their songs, dance their stories, write their memories.
