Polish Artists Create Scenes With Folk Costumes And Immigrants In Context Of Contemporary Multi-Ethnicity

Polish photographer Piotr Sikora decided to collaborate with a Polish artist Piotr Bondarczyk on a project that is trying to depict traditional Polish folk costumes in a context of contemporary multi-ethnicity and all the issues that come on the topic. The project tries to deal with political and ethnic changes that happen in Polish society after being almost completely homogeneous country as a result of the second World War and era of Communism. During communism country was a closed socialist country and there was little touch with other nations and cultures besides the Soviet ones, unlike today when Poles are reaching into the world and opening up as the artist claims.

#4 from the Dom dziecka (Orphanage). The house starves when you are away series by Ahlam Shibli, 2009

submitted description: black and white photo, showing two young boys facing the camera leaning on a small sculpture showing an adult and a child hugging

propaganda: The series was made while visiting eleven orphanages around the country, the artist mentions that absence of adult connections, the children create specially strong bonds between each other instead, in this light the pose leaning on a sentimental sculpture showing an adult and child embracing is ironic, but the photo is neither overtly dark, or overtly sweet - the children look casual into the camera.

about the artist: she is a palestinian photographer, she did many projects about the arab population of palestine. check out her works here
