Aleksandra Wierzbowska

Documentary photographer & adventurer
Founder of Droga Kobiet 

 

My work explores places and situations at the edge of human experience, where personal stories intersect with broader social and environmental realities.

I have documented the war in Ukraine, the flood in Pakistan, and the rivers of the Colombian Amazon, as well as expeditions led by Mateusz Waligóra and Łukasz Supergan. I was also part of the international climbing expedition Project Armenia, recognised by the Royal Geographical Society, during which a new climbing area was established on the previously untouched rock faces of Dilijan. 

I collaborated with brands such as Sennheiser, SIGG, Aztorin, BNP Paribas, Dafi, Merrell, or PAJAK. My article “An Additional Threat: Rape and #MeToo in Travel”, published in Wysokie Obcasy, was selected as one of the 35 most important texts in the 35-year history of Gazeta Wyborcza. 

I have carried out a number of independent travel and endurance projects, including a winter bicycle traverse of the Balkan Peninsula, river expeditions in the Colombian Amazon, and long-distance treks across Iceland and the Nepalese Himalayas. I also have extensive climbing experience in the Tatras, the Alps, the Caucasus, and other mountain ranges around the world.
