++ Highlights
Monika Orpik (1997)
Monika Orpik's work stands at the intersection of contemporary art, research and social practice. Orpik’s methodology involves working with specialists across various disciplines e.g. composers, anthropologists and linguists to allow for a space of interaction and exchange of knowledge. Her research focuses on unnamed things, moments undepicted in images and the collapse of meaning caused by the use of inadequate language. She’s interested in stories often omitted from mainstream historical records and the misuse of classification processes that impacts the narrative gaps.
Katarzyna Mazur (1987)
is a Polish photographer from Koło, Poland, living in Berlin. Rooted in her own experience, Mazur's practice deals with the perception of women in society, and with crucial questions such as self-determination over the body and the social construction of gender. She has studied photography at the Ostkreuzschule and her book „ANNA KONDA“ was nominated for the Aperture PhotoBook Award at the Paris Photo 2015.
Agnieszka Sejud (1991)
Agnieszka Sejud is a visual artist, activist and member of the artistic duo KWAS together with Karolina Wojtas. Sejud uses various media to explore different aspects of human identity, the idea of individual freedom, and systems of oppression constraining people’s independence. The artist’s practice includes photography, digital and analogue collage, books and zines, videoart and installations. Her vision of the world is vivid, kaleidoscopic and psychedelic. Sejud often employs deformations and deconstruction of imagery to illustrate her purposes and ideas. Her works have been exhibited internationally.

Theory
Adam Mazur, "Historie fotografii w Polsce 1839-2009"
"Stories of Photography in Poland 1839-2009" is the first full study of this type on the market - 170 years of Polish photography thoroughly described by one of the most controversial researchers. Adam Mazur, known primarily for his critical texts and exhibitions, presents the sum of his inquiries into the historical dynamics and current condition of photography in Poland. An integral part of the book is the illustrative material - nearly 500 color and black and white reproductions. The book was based on Mazur's doctoral dissertation defended in 2008 at the Faculty of History of the University of Warsaw, entitled "Photography in an expanded field. Social and artistic uses of photography in Poland".
