Zsuzsanna G. Szabó is a textile designer, and obtained her degree in fashion and textile design at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in 2016. She completed her BA training at the same school, specialising in knitted material design.

In 2014, she spent a semester in Barcelona on an Erasmus scholarship, studying at the Escola Superior del Disseny.

She focuses on the performing arts, installations, and knitwear and costume design.

In 2016, her thesis won the Marcell Wanders design Award. In 2017, she was given the opportunity to display her work in a stand-alone exhibition in Szentendre, at the Art Capital Festival.

In 2018, her thesis was included in Jools Gildson’s and Nicola Moffat’s book, Textile Community and Controversy, THE KNITTING MAP.

The summer she spent in New York in 2015 had a major impact on her. She participated in Robert Wilson’s international course at the Watermill Center, where she encountered the costume-centred performance genre, which has remained her primary field of creative activity. A key feature of the genre is that it places the material created at its focus, with the boundaries between performer, creator and applied arts being blurred.

She has two young children.

In addition to her individual work, she currently teaches knitwear design at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design.
