Iwo Maciak

(any pronouns)

I conduct social research concerning arts and education. I support networks of non-formal education and I try to work for something.

I work in the Learning Communities department at the Copernicus Science Centre in Warsaw. I work in social research and artistic research projects and on my own research project concerning non-formal arts education in KEM School, which is part of my MA thesis at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. Before that I was part of Political Critique’s Social Institution of Culture “Jasna 10” and I graduated with a BA in Anthropology from the Institute of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Warsaw.

I am part of the Płonący Dom group, where I do only legal stuff. I work with WOK on the research project “In Warsaw”, exploring the city from the perspectives of migrant and refugee artists living in Warsaw.

I’m from Tarchomin, which is technically part of Warsaw, but being in Tarchomin is usually better than being in Warsaw
