OUR MAIN AREAS OF ACTIVITY:
INTERNATIONAL ARCHIVAL AND RESEARCH PROJECTS
The Foundation develops long-term research and archival projects dedicated to the history and contemporary practices of women artists, with a particular focus on Central and Eastern Europe. The key project is Secondary Archive — an international digital platform documenting the statements, practices, and experiences of women artists as a vital source of knowledge about art history and the history of the region. These initiatives are research-based, educational, and international in scope, aiming to build a sustainable knowledge infrastructure on women’s artistic practices.
PRODUCTION OF EXHIBITIONS AND ARTISTIC PROJECTS
The Foundation produces and co-produces exhibitions, artistic projects, and public programmes in collaboration with cultural institutions in Poland and abroad. These include, among others, exhibition projects (such as the programme Przeciw(stawanie)), film and research projects, performative events, panel discussions, and public programmes accompanying exhibitions and artistic initiatives. These activities combine the production of new artistic works with curatorial and research development.
SUPPORT FOR ARTISTS, ARCHITECTS, AND RESEARCH PROJECTS
The Foundation runs programmes supporting women artists, architects, and researchers through open calls, seminars, curatorial projects, and research initiatives addressing the representation of women in art and public space. These activities include projects such as Architektoniczki, dedicated to gender perspectives in urban planning, mobility programmes, educational initiatives, and research-oriented events, including Exploratory Night Walks and seminar series.
These efforts focus on strengthening the visibility of women in culture, supporting their professional development, and fostering long-term collaboration between artists, curators, researchers, and cultural institutions.
ARCHIVAL AND DIGITALISATION ACTIVITIES
A key pillar of the Foundation’s work is the development, digitalisation, and long-term archiving of artistic materials, including the archive of Katarzyna Kozyra’s artistic practice. These activities involve the digitalisation of video materials, photographs, and project documentation, as well as their research processing and dissemination within exhibition, publication, and educational contexts.
RESEARCH, PUBLICATIONS, AND EXPERT ACTIVITY
The Foundation conducts research projects on the presence of women in art, art history, and the institutional structures of the cultural field. It produces reports, publications, seminars, conferences, and educational programmes, advancing critical and feminist perspectives in research on contemporary art and architecture.
