The "(Mis)matched" project combines scientific and artistic perspectives, creating a space for in-depth reflection on how biology, culture and art shape our understanding of femininity. The final event on 23 January at 6:00 p.m. will feature a discussion by:
- dr hab. Beata Marcinkowska who is an artist and the creator of the exhibition (The Strzemiński Academy of Fine Arts Łódź)

- dr hab. Dominika Byczkowska-Owczarek who is a sociologist of the body (Department of the Sociology of Culture, Faculty of Economics and Sociology, University of Lodz).
The discussion will be led by Dr Krystyna Dzwonkowska-Godula – a sociologist from the Faculty of Economics and Sociology, University of Lodz, a member of the Equality Council at the University of Lodz.
About femininity from three perspectives
– I carefully examine issues related to the body, femininity and its ambiguous nature, treated as a cultural construct subject to constant transformation. In my work, I often refer to the full contours of the female body – says creator of the exhibition, dr hab. Beata Marcinkowska from the Strzeminski Academy of Fine Arts Łódź.
The “(Mis)matched” is not just an exhibition – it's a space for dialogue and a shared exploration of the meanings of the female body from various perspectives: artistic, anthropological-biological and sociological ones.
