Igor Stokfiszewski

I am the Programme Director of the Jasna 10: Krytyka Polityczna Communal Cultural Institution in Warsaw, and I have been working at Krytyka Polityczna since 2006. I am a cultural researcher and activist; I participate in artistic projects in the field of engaged and political art, community art and community theatre. I write and edit books on culture, I manage projects and I am an activist. When not spending time on activism, I practise Buddhism, like to hug trees, read feminist science fiction and listen to local Christmas carols.
