Contemporary Lynx is an arts organisation and magazine launched in January 2013 by art historians Dobromiła Błaszczyk and Sylwia Krasoń. Contemporary Lynx was created to encourage an appreciation and understanding of Polish contemporary art by a wide audience. Our goal is to raise awareness of Polish artists’ contribution to the international art scene. In our online art magazine we publish first-hand information about interesting and prestigious art events from around the world. Our website is a springboard for further activities happening beyond the Internet – curatorial projects, art exhibitions, international cultural exchange, research and cross-media art events.

FOTOFESTIWAL
fotofestiwal.com
Fotofestiwal was born in 2001 in Łódź as one of the first photography events in Poland. Since then, both photography and the ways of organising cultural events have changed. Fotofestiwal has always been up to date with these changes. It is intended as a space for various forms of photography and a forum for discussion on art and society, but also as a search for alternative methods of talking about photography and presenting it. The festival is held annually in May. Since the very beginning, it has been meant as a place for meetings and exchanging ideas. The festival was launched as an initiative of students and teachers of sociology and this has always influenced its character. Among the different forms and types of photography the humanist and social aspects of the exhibited works have always played an important role.

FOUNDATION FOR VISUAL ARTS

The Foundation’s main area of activity is photography, and its mission is the quest for new definitions for this field in the context of contemporary art, history and sociology. Alongside the annual Krakow Photomonth festival, the Foundation’s ventures include longer-term projects such as establishing an archive of Zofia Rydet, promoting the work of Jan Dziaczkowski, and the interdisciplinary project Rajza po Kato.

TIFF Festival
tiff.wroc.pl
TIFF Festival was formed in 2011 as “Trochę Inny Festiwal Fotografii” [trans. A Slightly Different Photography Festival]. Its establishment was both a link to rich tradition of Wrocław’s photography, and a pursuit to create a cultural event, going beyond the traditional way of presenting photography. The festival has been in constant evolution, changing its formula, in correlation with themes attributed to subsequent editions. The name has also been modified to TIFF Festival, as this simplified name was easier to recognize by our widening pool of guests, including foreign ones. We are guided by the idea of exploring and reliving photography anew. Our perception of photography is as a medium existing in various contexts and taking on diverse functions – from a simple recording, through a subjective representation of reality, up to an artistic creation of new worlds and symbolic meanings
