Dorota Walentynowicz, is a visual artist, curator and educator, and a graduate of the ArtScience Interfaculty (KABK, The Hague) and the Faculty of Photography (University of the Arts Poznań). She received her PhD from the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk. The area of her artistic and theoretical interest concerns photography understood not only as a means of creating and distributing images, but above all as a form of research and deconstruction of the process of seeing and being seen. Much of her current activity is connected with collective practices that aim to develop horizontal and heterarchical methods of functioning within the existing models of artistic production.
