1 table, 4 hands and 10 books. Franek Ammer from Fotofestiwal in Łódź and Michał Leśniowski from Krakow Photomonth will share a selection of Polish photobooks published in the last few years. Same publication will be available to read in person in the library.
The selection focuses on foreign countries - how are they seen by Polish artists. With just a few moves of the hand, we will travel to India, USA, Hungary, and North Korea among others. We will discuss different approaches to other’s countries politics, history, society and environment. We will also reflect if Polish background influences how these countries are seen and represented by photography.
