WHO WE ARE
Our platform is for Polish photographers living in Poland and around the world. It was created out of disagreement with the still unequal division of parities in the contemporary world of photography. We want to present and promote Polish photographers here and inspire them to continue their work. We believe that on many important social issues, the voice of Polish photographers is becoming more and more important and it is high time to show it to the world. That’s why we are here to support, educate, present and write the history of Polish women photographers, which is still not talked about enough.
WHAT WE DO
We want to always be in contact with our followers, which is why we very actively run a profile on Facebook and Instagram, where we regularly publish photography posts. We mainly focus on photography by Polish women photographers. We have developed several permanent thematic cycles that help us organize our proposals and thus reach the right group of our recipients.
Here are some of our permanent proposals:
On the 20th at eight o'clock
i.e. video conversations with Polish photographers, photo editors, photo curators, photo book designers and other people from the photography community.
