Galeria Obok ZPAF 's main aim is to promote young Polish photographers. It actively searches new talents, trends and currents, which it then also promotes in the media. The gallery hopes to cross the Polish borders and introduce a wider audience to Polish documentary photographers. To achieve this they are looking to cooperate with galleries and institutions in other countries.

The gallery is a subdivision of Polish Artists’ and Photographers’ Union / ZPAF and is directed by Anna Wolska.
