Visual and Reflective Workshops for Women

About the event

Do you want to pause for a moment and look at what moves you? You don’t need to know how to take photos. You don’t need to be an artist. You only need yourself – just as you are – with mindfulness, curiosity, and a willingness to look deeper. I invite you to join a unique series of 5 intimate meetings, where: - creation will become a tool for self-discovery, - photography, words, drawing, or collage will be the language we use to describe our unseen, - the most important thing will be what you feel – not how your work looks, - each of us will gain space to express what matters – at our own pace, on our own terms. We will conclude the workshops with a joint exhibition – a symbolic closure of the process, a summary of the journey we will take together. 📌 WHO IS IT FOR? For every woman who: - wants to be closer to herself, - feels that her daily life lacks space to pause, - enjoys creating but doesn’t necessarily “know how,” - longs for a judgment-free meeting in a women’s circle, - desires something more than just a photography course – an experience that moves. 📅 WHAT, WHERE, WHEN? - Start: August 26, 2025 - Number of meetings: 5 (4 in-person + 1 online) - When: Tuesdays at 7:00 PM - Duration of each meeting: 75 minutes - Location: ul.

Facilitator: Marta Żylak – photographs, creates, accompanies. For years, she has worked with women, leading workshops, meetings, photo sessions, and teaching pole dance. Get to know me better: https://www.instagram.com/martazylak/ "niewidoki" is a project that has matured within me for a long time. It was born out of a need for pause, mindfulness, and working with images not to “show” something but to feel something. It brings together women who want to meet – with others, with their own sensitivity, with what is invisible at first glance. This is the first edition of workshops in this series – which is why they are especially important to me. I approach them with curiosity and openness, believing that each of us will bring something unique to them, and that’s why I would love to invite you to join. If you feel this is for you – join.
