I have been working in education since 2013, when I co-founded – at first an informal collective, and later a foundation – Paper Beats Rock, focused on non-institutional and workshop education in the field of visuality, photography, work with an image and storytelling. In 2014, we started a series of Points workshops focused on combining threads related to the sociology of urban space, microsociology and photographic work.

We run workshops in many major cultural and educational institutions including: the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, Ośrodku Postaw Twórczych in Wrocław, PWSFTViT, the Miejska Galeria Arsenał, Pauza Gallery or as part of the Fotofestival.

In 2015 with Paweł Starzec and Jan Rogało we established the informal educational and publihing collective Azimuth Press, in which we continue to work with various cultural institutions and universities in the field of visual education. For two years I have also been conducting regular classes at the ZPAF Photographic Studio.

Just like a strong theoretical basis, I believe in the importance of doing things with your hands.
