I set off on my path of curatorial and artistic practice in 2019, by leading the “Pamiętniki Zawczasu” [“Ahead-of-Time Diaries”] queer workshop together with Dominika Wasilewska. Currently, I seek to create grassroot, activist, and artistic initiatives in Warsaw. Since 2021 I’ve been collaborating with the Jazdów Estate in Warsaw. Since 2022, I have been a co-founder of Neuroqueer, a collective focused on neurodiverse and queer people. In 2023, I co-founded the curatorial and artistic collective Zwykła Dziewczyna [A Common Girl]. In 2022 and 2023, I worked as an archivist at various institutions, while also conducting independent research (Archeology of Photography Foundation, Studio Gallery, Women’s Museum). Recently, I co-curated exhibitions at the Arton Foundation and at the venue of the Przyszła Niedoszła [Future Would-Be] collective. Disability studies, crip theory, feminism, and queer studies are among my main interests.

Internship at WOK: August—December 2023
