Untitled from the Karczeby series by Adam Pańczuk, c. 2010:

submitted description: hands holding a photo of a woman, peaking out from a stack of hay

propaganda: Artist’s statement: “In one of the dialects spoken in the east of Poland, which is a mixture of Polish and Belorussian, people strongly attached to the soil they had been cultivating for generetations were called “Karczebs”. With their bare hands Karczebs cleared forests in order to grow crops. The word Karczeb was also used to describe what remains after a tree is cut down - a trunk with roots, which remains stuck in the ground. This also applied to people - it was not easy for the authorities to root them out from their land, even in the Stalinism times. The price they paid for their attachment to their soil was often their freedom or life. After death, hurried nearby their farmland, a Karczeb himself became the soil, later cultivated by his descendants.”

Untitled from the Shelters series by Joanna Piotrowska, 2017

submitted description: the black and white photo shows a person crouched under a table, with a piece of cloth hanging from something above it and over two chairs making a make shift tent

propaganda: The subjects were asked to built a "blanket tent" like structure from personal objects, when I see it I have to think of the plight of homeless people, and refugees, of everyone who can not return to the place they call home, be it for large scale reason like war, or climate change or more personal ones like abuse in families - the symbolic return and retaking of a space with innocence and savety.
