Artist talk: Karol Radziszewski

Conversation

30.1 2026

Stockholm

Karol Radziszewski’s practice begins with his archive of queer histories from Central and Eastern Europe. For the past two decades, he has gathered stories, materials and oral histories systematically excluded from mainstream narratives. Hear the artist in conversation with curator Hendrik Folkerts at the opening of the exhibition “The Classroom”.

During the artist talk, a special new issue of Karol Radziszewski’s DIK Fagazine (designed by Swedish designer Martin Falck) will be launched.

Karol Radziszewski (born 1980, Białystok; lives and works in Warsaw) works in film, painting, installation, and publishing. His practice examines queer histories in Central and Eastern Europe and how they can be made visible through artistic and editorial means. He is the founder of the Queer Archives Institute and the editor of DIK Fagazine, both of which function as platforms for research, exhibition, and exchange. Through these interconnected projects, Radziszewski develops a visual and discursive framework that links art-making with archiving, education, and activism.
