Each year, the Polish Institute in Paris organizes an event as part of Nuit Blanche. In 2026, it will host a talk with Agata Grzybowska, a photographer and war correspondent known for her work in Syria, Egypt, and Ukraine. She travels the world documenting individuals living through difficult, often dangerous circumstances. Her approach is based on getting close to people and their stories. She sees herself as an intermediary who helps amplify voices that might otherwise go unheard. She firmly believes that everyone has the right to tell their own story.
She currently works as a freelance photographer, collaborating with organizations including TIME, The Telegraph, CNN, Der Spiegel, and the Associated Press. More recently, she served as the set photographer for the films Hamnet, A Real Pain, and The Zone of Interest.
The talk will be followed by a guided visit to the exhibition Chris Niedenthal – Photojournalist.
