Kouzmitcheva Katerina

Belarusian photographer based in Wrocław, Poland. Working at the intersection of documentary and art photography, she explores how invisible boundaries—geographical, ideological, or psychological—shape individual lives and collective attitudes. Her projects address human interaction, political systems, memory, and gender, using art to question and challenge these forces.

Katerina holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business Law, graduated from the Academy of Documentary and Art Photography “Fotografika” in St. Petersburg, and earned both her Master’s and PhD degrees in Fine Arts from the Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław.

She is a winner of international photography competitions such as TIFA and BIFA, and a recipient of the Gaude Polonia scholarship from the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. Katerina is a member of the international photojournalist collective Women Photograph. Her work has been exhibited in Arles (France), as well as in Brazil, Japan, Estonia, Hungary, and Poland. Her photography has been featured in publications including British Journal of Photography, Bird in Flight, Monovisions, Dodho, among others.
