10–12 October 2025
Centre of Contemporary Art, Torún, Poland
Karen Knorr is delighted to support and will be present at the upcoming Fast Forward: Women in Photography conference in Torún, Poland. The conference is open to the public and free to attend.
The sixth Fast Forward conference explores the (hi)stories of women in photography with a particular reference to how women’s work is curated, exhibited and collected by museums, institutions, festivals, galleries and individuals. Fast Forward is interested in the curators, the collectors and the photographers and through this inspiring conference intend to make a unique contribution to the study of women in the field of art by looking in detail about how exhibiting and collecting photography works.
The confirmed Key notes are Marie Robert (The Head Curator of Photography and Cinema at the Musée d’Orsay, France) and Val Williams (Professor of History and Culture of Photography at London College of Communication, UAL, UK). The conference is organised with the support of the Nicolaus Copernicus University, the Vintage Photo Festival, the British Council in Poland, the University for the Creative Arts and Karen Knorr London Studio.
