Kisiel, Ryszard

Born in 1948, social activist, creator of the underground magazine "Filo" (1986) - one of the first Central-Eastern European non-heteronormative zines. He was co-founder of "Lambda", first official LBGTQ association in Poland (1990). He was always interested in photography and used to take a lot of photographs during his private queer sessions in 1980s' Poland. His actions were undertaken partly as a way of opposing the anti-gay witch-hunt started by Polish militia. As he was living on the Polish seaside, he had also a lot of contacts with foreign press and gay culture. For him, socialist Poland was not a welcoming place to live in and providing gay community with the first gay magazine was his way of subversing the dominant narrative.
He is a main character of Karol Radziszewski's documentary "Kisiel". Part of his rich collection is being exhibited by Radziszewski as a part of Queer Archive Institute.
