Award for 鈥濷powie艣ci o g/G艂uchych w komiksie i zinie鈥�
The project, implemented by the Embodiment Foundation in 2025, received recognition in the 鈥淚nclusive Processes and Accessibility鈥� category. It uses comics and zines, independent publications usually produced in small print runs, as tools for cultural education. Through visual storytelling, it presents the history and culture of Deaf people and creates space for them to share their own experiences, identity and perspectives.
These activities align with the research interests of Dr Agnieszka Ko艂odziejczak, which include art history, the artistic output of Deaf artists, and the presence of Deaf culture in cultural institutions.
