Summary/Abstract: In this article, we analyze work stories surrounding fine art academies (and art departments at non- art universities) that emerged from in-depth interviews we conducted with female and male research and teaching employees at these institutions. We are interested in how the changing feminist dis- course in Poland affects those who function in art academies. We want to learn how the academic imagination is being reframed, and what work figures are emerging in it. Looking at the employment conditions in the academy, we also consider how labour relations are gendered, how gender con- sidered intersectionally marks the labour status of individuals and how it affects attitudes produced towards the institution.
