Galeria Asymetria
About

Galeria Asymetria in Warsaw is Poland’s first gallery dedicated to artistic and historical photography, with a focus on works from the 1950s to 1970s. Founded in 2008 and located in a modernist villa in the Praga Południe district, the gallery offers a unique lens into Poland’s photographic heritage. Its name pays homage to Zbigniew Dłubak’s concept of asymmetry, reflecting the belief that reality cannot be captured through a single, symmetrical vision. Exhibitions often explore this idea, presenting diverse perspectives through archival and contemporary works. Asymetria collaborates closely with the Archeology of Photography Foundation and regularly participates in Paris Photo, reinforcing its international presence. In addition to exhibitions, the gallery hosts lectures and educational programs, fostering dialogue among students, professionals, and enthusiasts. With its research-driven approach and commitment to rediscovery, Galeria Asymetria plays a vital role in shaping the narrative of Polish photography.
