The Human Frame
My work, as an actor and human rights campaigner, sits at the crossroads of human rights and the arts, exploring how creativity can reveal the deeper truths of what it means to be human. Through The Human Frame, I bring together artists, activists, and thinkers to explore how performance can become a form of resistance, empathy, and change.

Drawing the Line: Zuza Kamińska on Art and Abortion Rights in Poland
In this thought-provoking episode of The Human Frame, Łucja sits down with Zuza Kamińska, a Polish artist, writer, and activist whose work pushes against societal norms and confronts the political policing of bodies, identity, and autonomy in modern Poland.
Zuza reflects on her creative journey, from studying art and activism to developing a distinctive visual and conceptual language rooted in resistance. Drawing from lived experience, feminist movements, and Poland’s shifting political climate, her work exposes the fractures between public morality and private reality, particularly surrounding reproductive rights.
Together, they explore:
✨ Art as a form of dissent under rising authoritarianism
✨ The state of abortion rights in Poland and the human cost of criminalisation
✨ How identity, gender, and social pressure collide in society
✨ The role of artists in documenting and challenging injustice
✨ The generational divide in Poland’s cultural landscape
✨ Zuza’s upcoming book on human rights and her evolving artistic practice
