Dan Szor

Dan Szor is a Lecturer in Fashion Image Making and Styling within the School of Arts, Media and Creative Technologies at the University of Salford. His dual expertise bridges academic instruction and active professional practice as a contemporary visual artist and curator with international exhibition experience spanning over a decade.

His academic credentials include:

• Master's Degree in Art and Politics from Goldsmiths, University of London (2010-2012)
• Bachelor's Degree in Fashion Image Making and Styling from the University of Salford (2005-2008)

Research interests center on fashion styling as critical practice, art direction in alternative media, and exhibition curation as political discourse. His work consistently interrogates power structures in visual representation through hands-on creative production rather than theoretical abstraction.

Recent publications and exhibitions reveal a trajectory focused on context-responsive interventions – from London galleries to international venues in Mexico, South Africa, and Berlin. His 2014-2015 writings in Living In The Future Journal and independent publications demonstrate how fashion imagery operates within broader cultural critique frameworks.

No scientific awards are documented in available records.

As an educator, Szor leverages his 15+ exhibitions (2011-2024) to provide students with real-world curation experience. His teaching integrates professional networks and methodologies from SuperSuper magazine editorial work, creating pathways for student involvement in active art projects rather than simulated exercises.

Though no formal lab structure exists, his practice functions as a dynamic studio environment where students engage directly with exhibition production, publication design, and cross-institutional collaborations – most recently demonstrated through the 2024 Berlin showcase at Citipunkt Gallery.
