Nicolás Janowski | b. 1980, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Visual artist, anthropologist and curator based in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Janowski works between art, documentary practices and curatorial processes.

Collaborative dynamics and historical contexts are his narratives’ axes as well as their dissemination through transmedia platforms.

In 2015, TIME magazine highlighted him as one of the 9 photographers to follow in Argentina.
