Experience

I am A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice and the University of Silesia with a degree in art history, and I am the co-founder of the Group of Deaf Artist.

I currently work in the Education Department of the Silesian Museum in Katowice. I am a lecturer in the history of art for the deaf. I coordinate activities in Polish and international sign language, cooperation with the Deaf community in collecting materials for the multimedia repository, research in sign language, queries, coordination of film recordings.

I popularize art in the deaf community through lectures, conferences and the seminar "The art of connecting" in the Silesian Museum.

I was the curator of the exhibition "Głusza" from 2022 to 2023 in the Silesian Museum in Katowice.  It showed the fate of friendship and love. 

I have a strong interest in history, art history.

I am currently focusing on finding the best way to visualize the concepts of sign language related to art. I am working on  my PhD  thesis:  "A dictionary in sign language about art and art theory for deaf artists."
